VBG Aligns With Tryst Hotels

VBG Aligns with Tryst Hotels. The Vallarta Botanical Garden (VBG) proudly announces a strategic conservation partnership with Tryst Hotels and its flagship property, The Tryst Puerto Vallarta. This new partnership underscores a shared commitment to environmental sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and community involvement.

Tryst Hotels, the world’s first luxury hotel brand designed specifically for gay travelers, has joined forces with the Botanical Garden’s “Conservation in Action” program, contributing funds to protect six new hectares (14.8 acres) of pristine forested land. This significant addition enhances the Garden’s efforts to safeguard the remarkable biodiversity of western Mexico.

“We believe luxury and sustainability go hand-in-hand,” said Tristan Schukraft, owner of Tryst Hotels. “It’s essential that we protect the natural beauty and ecological richness of Puerto Vallarta for future generations. Partnering with the Vallarta Botanical Garden is part of our commitment to preserving the stunning landscapes that make this region so extraordinary.”

Founded in 2005 on just eight hectares, the Vallarta Botanical Garden is internationally recognized as a leading botanical institution and a champion of ecological conservation in western Mexico. In the two decades since, the Garden has secured over 200 hectares for conservation, preserving critical habitats along the pristine Los Horcones River—one of Mexico’s few remaining undisturbed river systems flowing directly into Banderas Bay.

The Tryst Puerto Vallarta has quickly become the city’s most iconic new luxury hotel, celebrated for its sophisticated design and inclusive hospitality. VBG aligns with Tryst Hotels along with Tristan’s parents, Dick and Barbara Schukraft, who were inspired by the Botanical Garden’s conservation mission and stepped forward to fund the expansion of protected lands within the Garden’s conservation area.

Additionally, The Tryst Puerto Vallarta’s striking landscape design features lush greenery sourced primarily from the Vallarta Botanical Garden. VBG aligns with Tryst Hotels and its commitment to sustainability and conservation being exemplified through its continued sourcing of fresh flowers and native plants from the Botanical Garden. This is particularly showcased in its signature outdoor restaurant, The Courtyard. The restaurant is renowned for its vibrant and lush garden ambiance, beautifully integrating the local botanical heritage into its dining experience.

VBG aligns with Tryst Hotels marks a significant step forward in conservation efforts and community stewardship, setting an example for responsible tourism and environmental leadership in Mexico and beyond.
