Positive expectations about better performance of the tourism sector increase opportunities to attract new investment in Peru. This is a special situation
Peru's Exports and Tourism Promotion Board (PromPeru) seeks to take advantage of in order to promote the development of new projects and boost the country's economy.
PromPeru Business Investment Promotion Director Daniel Cordova pointed out that there are foreign and local investors interested in developing tourism projects in Peru.
"They seek to take advantage of the recovery process of this activity, after being one of the most affected ones by the coronavirus pandemic," he said in statements to the
Official Gazette El Peruano.
Cordova remarked that six projects —whose execution entails an investment of US$650 million— will be presented at the First Tourism Investment Meeting: Innovation and Sustainability.
Said forum will take place between August 31 and September 2 in the cities of Lima and Tarapoto.
Cordova mentioned that PromPeru has received enquiries from potential investors from Colombia, Argentina, Panama, Spain, and the United States, among the main stakeholders.
They are interested in the construction of hotels or the formation of alliances with local partners, either in established chains or at boutique hotels.
"Everything (their entire interest) is aimed at increasing the hospitality capacity," the PromPeru official commented.
"We receive enquiries about hotel infrastructure development projects. In theory, they are still concentrated in the Lima market, but they are attracted by other cities, too," he explained.
