The awards are often referred to as the Oscars of Tourism, and were held in the Peruvian pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai

 

The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) and the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism (PROMPERÚ) proudly announced that Peru won four World Travel Awards (WTA) South America.

“The awards presented to our country reaffirm the touristic positioning of Peru in the world as a destination with wide-ranging cultural and natural wealth. This recognition highlights the magnificence of Machupicchu as a leading travel destination in the region as well as placing PROMPERÚ as the leading state agency in the promotion of Tourism,” said Roberto Sánchez, Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism.

 

The awards were presented in an emotional and symbolic event in the Peru pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai with the attendance of the executive president of PROMPERÚ, Amora Carbajal and the founder of the World Travel Awards, Graham Cooke.
