Indeed, the Puerto Vallarta airport has remained open, officials said.

City services will also be back to normal, including schools, garbage collection and public service works, with the latter having launched work to clear debris from high winds and waves.

Officials told Caribbean Journal that almost 600 tourists were housed in city shelters during the storm because they were in high-risk areas.
