The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Friday evening affirmed that her Government is committed and working hard to create the necessary incentives to accelerate the recovery of tourism.

At the national launch of Cusco's jubilee month celebrations - Inti Raymi, the Head of State reiterated her commitment to working in favor of all Peruvians.

"(…) particularly of people in the country's provinces, always promoting dialogue, consensus, social peace, and respect for democracy," she stated.

"The Government is committed and working hard, through the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Culture, to create the necessary incentives that will help accelerate the recovery of tourism," Mrs. Boluarte remarked.

"We are working hand-in-hand with regional, provincial, and district authorities, with the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, tour guides, artisans, as well as our brothers and sisters from Cusco," she said.
 
The dignitary indicated that, despite the ravages of nature, the Peruvian economy is in the process of recovery, adding that as it grows, so do employment opportunities, income, and tourism, so that decentralization can be an engine of development.

"Cusco is a thriving and entrepreneurial town that is ready to receive tourists," she said.

Huaral

On the other hand, the country's top official lamented what happened in the locality of La Perla, in Huaral province, where a landslide buried houses and a high school as a result of rains.
