Before the pandemic, tourism was the third-largest economic sector in Peru —after mining and agro-industry. Now, although it is severely affected, there is a glimmer of hope thanks to the "Volver a Viajar" (Travel Again) campaign promoted by the Government.
The tourism recovery is underway. People feel more confident about traveling across the country now that they have started to get vaccinated.
"The recently launched campaign aims to promote tourist destinations on a national scale, support formal services, and raise awareness of the importance of travel resumption in a gradual and responsible manner, as part of the sector's recovery," she said in remarks to the official gazette El Peruano.
