RIVIERA NAYARIT — A total of 36 hotels and resorts in the Riviera Nayarit are accommodating guests in need of either a PCR or antigen test prior to their departure home.
Canadians who require a PCR test, as mandated by the federal government in order to return home, and Americans who must take a viral test (either a PCR or antigen test) as part of the U.S. government’s new pre-arrival testing rule, can now take a test while in Riviera Nayarit either on site at their hotel or at hospitals, clinics and laboratories in the region.
“Riviera Nayarit is a destination recognized for its hospitality and this situation allows the hotel industry to reinforce its support to travellers and for us to continue promoting economic reactivation,” said Marc Murphy, managing director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau.
In addition to providing testing at hotels, Riviera Nayarit has implemented sanitary protocols as per the Ministry of Health of the Mexican Federal Government at hotels and restaurants, which are operating at their permitted capacity. Additionally, access to beaches has been limited.
