“Barefoot por Vallarta” Beach Cleanup Announced

Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, along with the National Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Services (CANACO Servytur) and the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board, announced the second edition of “Barefoot por Vallarta”, a beach cleanup program taking place July 9 to 11 in several regional beaches.

This initiative is part of the #WorldBeachRescueDay movement that will be celebrated simultaneously in eleven countries on July 9, including United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and Filipines. The movement aims to built a collective awareness about maintaining our beaches clean and the preservation of the natural environments.

Over 100 volunteers participated in the first edition of “Barefoot por Vallarta” celebrated last year, where 400 bags of refuse were collected.

“We encourage people to join this movement and keep our beaches clean, not only during these three days but year around,” commented Teresita Marmolejo, President of CANACO Servytur.
