Newest FONATUR Planned Resort: ElCapomo, Nayarit

 Mr. Murphy will also share news of new developments that are taking place in Riviera Nayarit. These include: * A major new resort area called Litibu which will inaugurate a Greg Norman golf course in December * An elegant St. Regis Resort in Punta Mita * A second Jack Nicklaus designed golf course at the spectacular Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita * A new marina and future resort development at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.

Marketing has extended throughout Mexico and into the United States.  This campaign will transform the Riviera Nayarit corridor into one of the most sought after regions for real estate and development.  Similar campaigns were launched for Cancun, Ixtapa and Hualtulco, to promote the underdeveloped coastal regions of Mexico with far reaching economic and socioeconomic effects.

This project is located in the South coast of the state of Nayarit, in the most dynamic tourist region of the Pacific, Banderas Bay, and includes a corridor extending 53 kilometers from Compostela to Puerto Vallarta.
This is a project of low environmental impact that will be oriented to high income market segments: lodging, golf, maritime activities, vacation housing and ecology.

The Master Plan of the Nayarit CIP will be developed over a period of 22 years in three stages:

Phase I: Higuera Blanca/Litibú, with an area of 152 hectares (375 acres), that will provide 3,200 living quarters (vacation homes, hotel facilities, etc.);

Phase II: El Capomo with an area of 268 hectares (670 acres), in which 5,900 living quarters will be developed, and;

Phase III: La Peñita with 445 hectares (1120 acres), where 5,400 living quarters are planned.

In total 14,500 quarters hotel and tourist residences (timesharing, condominiums, vacation housing) will be added to the tourism industry, three golf courses of 18 holes, a tourist marina of 150 slips, beach clubs, commercial shopping and entertainment centers, a regional marine park, an aerodrome (small airport), and other tourism facilities.

It is expected to create 35,600 jobs, 34,300 new homes and 141,000 new inhabitants in the area.

The project will provide needed infrastructure for growing tourism throughout the Puerto Vallarta and the Banderas bay-Compostela region. Presently this area has 27,000 hotel rooms and receives around 2.8 million visitors annually, and is easily accessable by plane, road or sea.

The CIP Nayarit project contemplates the construction of a new toll freeway from Jala to Brucerías, with an overall length of 136 kilometers, which will give to access to the metropolitan zone of Guadalajara and the center and the West of the country.
