During the inauguration of Peru Travel Mart 2019, the president stressed that the Government works to promote tourism in the country, the private sector has the important task to diversify the tourist offer. He said that the development of the country had been based, in recent years, on very important economic sectors such as mining, but now the bases must be built so that tourism achieves greater growth that benefits everyone.

We have to give them all the possibilities to achieve their goal”, he said.
