PromPeru's coordinator for the Asia Pacific, Rosana Guinea, believes the openings of these new properties, in partnership with the unique experiences on offer in Peru, demonstrate the growing popularity of Peru as a tourist destination.
"2012 and 2013 will mark the opening of a number of luxurious and unique properties throughout Peru, which will appeal to a broad cross-section of travellers. Furthermore, six Peruvian cities were recently nominated for the New 7 Wonders Cities Campaign, and Peru was recently selected as the finish point for the South American Dakar Rally 2012."
"Each of these developments is testament to the growing popularity of Peru as a must-visit destination for travellers. We are confident this interest in Peru, and the subsequent development of more new products, tours and properties, will only continue to grow throughout 2012 and beyond," remarks Ms Guinea.
