September 30th marked the first time a Municipal Presidente of Bahia de Banderas came to visit Sayulita, which was orchestrated by Pro Sayulita. In attendance were representatives from the Sayulita business association, Vigilantes and other members of the Federal and Municipal Government. 

In addition to hearing local concerns, Mr. Gomez, Presidente Municipal, alongside Nayarit Minister of Tourism, Rodrigo Perez, announced some exciting news. The Governor of Nayarit has nominated Sayulita to be one of 10 new Pueblos Magicos (Magic Villages) in the whole of 
Mexico. This program selects Mexican Towns that are unique, beautiful, and culturally and/or historically rich, which offer visitors a magical experience. In addition, Mr. Gomez informed the group that Sayulita is being considered for one of five station which will provide central service, such as health care, civil protection, transit police, fire control and ambulance service. 

At the meeting, problems and solutions were discussed relating to sewer, garbage, tap water supply, ocean water quality, environmental efforts (including the turtles), ecology, lifeguards, roads and parking. 

Pro Sayulita is proud to announce the government team will be back in 30 days to discuss solutions and implementation.

Pro Sayulita thanks its' many donors for their ongoing support and will join with their local partners in doing everything possible to assist this process.
