Cusco: Up to 35% of travel packages could be canceled this month due to an alert from the US government to its citizens

tour operators in Cuzco They estimate that, for the month of July, 35% of the travel packages booked by US citizens could be canceled due to the security alert issued by the United States government, reported Edwin Dueñas Olázabal, dean of the Professional College of Graduates in Tourism from Cuzco.

The representative mentioned that, since the tourist of North American nationality is the one who visits the most Cuzco and its tourist attractions, there is concern among businessmen because this alert will reduce the effort that has been made to reactivate the sightseeing in the region. The tour operators assure that they worked on said reactivation before the high season of foreign visitors.

Likewise, Dueñas Olázabal called on the government to resolve social conflicts that allow peace and social stability, thereby preventing the country from continuing to be classified as insecure.
