The Peruvian Export and Tourism Promotion Commission (PROMPERÚ) announced that our country has received three awards in the 2024 edition of the World Travel Awards (WTA), which recognize excellence in the travel and tourism sector.
For the twelfth time, Peru has been chosen as the “World’s Best Culinary Destination,” while for the sixth time it has been recognized as the “World’s Best Cultural Destination.” These awards highlight the country’s ongoing efforts to preserve and share its cultural and culinary diversity.
In this edition, the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, in the Cusco region, has been chosen for the sixth time as “Best Tourist Attraction in the World.” It should be noted that our wonder of the world is the first tourist destination to achieve international carbon neutral certification.
MINCETUR, together with PROMPERÚ, is constantly working to promote its natural beauty, its rich culture and its outstanding gastronomy. These awards are a window to continue showing the world the most beautiful things about our country, allowing more international visitors to enjoy it on their next trips.
Ricardo Limo, executive president of PROMPERÚ, expressed his pride and satisfaction for these achievements. “These recognitions are a testament to the continuous work of the public and private sectors, and of all Peruvians who share the best of our country with the world,” he added.
Also, within the framework of the 4th annual edition of the World Travel Tech Awards 2024, PROMPERÚ's website, Peru.travel, has been awarded the Best Tourism Website in Latin America.
