The Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism (Promperu) was awarded the Best Tourism Office in South America for the fourth consecutive year by the World Travel Awards (WTA) at the gala held in La Paz, Bolivia. “These triumphs support the intense work of promotion led by Promperú, Mincetur and the tourism sector, which demonstrates an articulated work between the public and private sectors. All these efforts give value to our country in the eyes of the world, consolidating it as a destination full of history, culture, nature and a delicious cuisine recognized globally”, said Luis Torres Paz, CEO of Promperu.
The WTA South America is one of the most prestigious events in the travel industry in our region and was attended by the leading experts in the industry. On behalf of our country, the commercial economic advisor of the Commercial Office of Peru Abroad (OCEX) of Bolivia, Pedro Guevara, attended.
The winners of the South American edition will compete in the world edition of the awards, which will be held on November 28 in Oman. In 2018, Peru was chosen Best cultural destination and Machu Picchu won as Best tourist attraction, while we triumphed for the seventh consecutive year as the best culinary destination in the world.
Moreover, “The Oscars of Tourism” awarded our country in the categories best culinary destination in South America, best cultural destination in South America and best tourist attraction in South America: Machu Picchu. With these recognitions, the attractiveness of Peru as a touristic destination is validated once again.
It is also important to remember that recently the travel magazine Travel and Leisure placed the cities of Cusco and Lima among the favorites in Latin America, and recognized hotels in our country as the best in the world. Also, the ranking of Country RepTrack 2019 placed us on top of the region in its selective list.
