social conflicts radicalized in the south of the country, led to the abolition of several holidays and now they are jeopardizing Holy Week in Cusco, according to Richard Velazquez, president of the Peruvian Association of Travel Companies (Apemtur – Cusco).

“Negative forecasts are relevant. Easter in April, because host tourism is not canceled from day to day, like national tourism,” the representative of the Economy for All program referred to RPP Noticias.

The “high season” begins with Holy Week tourismin the region and intensifies in June, when reserves dry up before the arrival of thousands of visitors; but only the first trimester Cusco “He lost all his reserves.”

“Cuzco loses 10 million salts a day, according to MincheturThis is a rather detrimental amount for our sector, because more than 40,000 people who were directly dependent on tourism are currently unemployed,” he explained.

The lack of tourists affects one in four inhabitants of Cusco and the most affected provinces are Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Valle Sagrado because they live almost exclusively on tourism activities, especially with the entrances to Machu Picchu, which has been closed for almost three weeks.

“We ask the president to take immediate action, to look at the situation in the south, which is currently disrupted and Cusco, as a tourist destination, is suffering,” he said.

Countries do not recommend Peru as a tourist destination

After the protests 16 countries have advised their citizens not to visit Peru so as not to suffer from demonstrations. One such country is the United States, where most visitors come from.

“We have 16 countries that have closed their doors to Peru that will not be seen tomorrow, this month or two months from now, it will only be felt in the first semester, even at the June holidays in Cusco,” he said. .

They are waiting for a meeting with the Prime Minister, and in the coming days with the Minister of Culture.
