The Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PromPeru) announced that our country has received three recognitions in the 2024 edition of the World Travel Awards (WTA), which distinguish excellence in the travel and tourism sector.

For the twelfth time, Peru has been chosen as the "World's Leading Culinary Destination," while for the sixth time it has been recognized as the "World's Leading Cultural Destination."

These awards highlight the South American country's ongoing efforts to preserve and share its cultural and culinary diversity.


In this edition, the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, in Cusco region, has also been chosen for the sixth time as the "World's Leading Tourist Attraction."

It is worth noting that our wonder of the world is the first tourist destination to achieve international carbon-neutral certification.

These awards serve as a window to continue showcasing the best of our country to the world, encouraging more international visitors to experience it on their future trips.

PromPeru Executive President Ricardo Limo expressed his pride and satisfaction for these achievements.

"These recognitions are a testament to the continuous efforts of both the public and private sectors, as well as all Peruvians who share the best of our country with the world," he added.

Additionally, as part of the 4th annual edition of the World Travel Tech Awards, PromPeru's website, Peru.travel, has been recognized as "

The World Travel Awards have been held since 1993 to recognize, reward, and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel and tourism industry.

Winners are chosen through online public voting and by global industry experts.
