Tourism Development in Peru

1 January 1973

For over two decades Peru has had a substantial tourism industry for which a principal asset is the wealth of historical monuments end archaeological sites from pre-Columbian cultures and the colonial era, especially in the Cuzco Zone, where the ruins of the city of Machu Picchu are located. In order to realize the full economic potential of these resources, the Government is developing a systematic plan for their protection and restoration as tourist attractions and for training personnel to carry out this work. Assisting this effort is the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as executing agent.
