With the recent announcements regarding Canadian and U.S. travelers abroad now required to show negative COVID-19 test results upon re-entry, the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau is prepared to assist travelers by offering testing at three prestigious hospitals, as well as local laboratories and clinics in the region.  Hospital Joya, Hospital CMQ and Hospital Punta Mita, in addition to several clinics, are fully equipped to attend to American and Canadian travelers requiring testing and are offering special rates for both.

“Riviera Nayarit has enough test kits as well as the capacity to assist its visitors with this new requirement prior to the return back to the United States and Canada,” explains Marc Murphy, managing director for the Riviera Nayarit CVB. “The destination has first-rate hospitals and clinics where travelers can have tests administered in a safe and convenient environment; we are prepared to make their visits as seamless as possible.” Numerous resorts in the destination are also in the process of facilitating COVID-19 testing services for guests on-site.

It is critical that travelers review the test requirements according to the destination they are returning to as Canada requires negative results from a PCR test, while the U.S. will accept the PCR or Antigen test results. Travelers are also encouraged to make appointments with the hospitals ahead of time and must present their passport and departure plane ticket to travel in a period that does not exceed 72 hours. Information on COVID-19 testing is available on www.RivieraNayarit.com and is as follows:
