Peru's Tourism Sector: A Story of Resilience and Growth

Peru's Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism recently shared a wealth of encouraging data that paints a vivid picture of the country's thriving tourism landscape. As of April 2024, an impressive 1 million international tourists have graced Peru's shores, representing a remarkable 53.4% increase compared to the same period last year.

"This result reflects the good performance of the tourism sector so far in 2024, maintaining a growth path and positioning Peru to achieve its main goal for the year: reaching pre-pandemic numbers." -Peruvian Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Mincetur

This awe-inspiring growth trajectory positions Peru to not only recover but surpass its pre-pandemic tourism figures, a testament to the destination's enduring allure.

Delving deeper into the data, we discover that South America has been a key driver of this growth, accounting for an astonishing 54.2% of all foreign tourist arrivals in Peru during the first four months of the year. This equates to a staggering 551,000 visitors from the region alone, underscoring the immense potential for intra-regional travel.
