SAN AGUSTIN HOTEL CHAIN TO INVEST
OVER US$10 MILLION IN TOURISM PROJECTS
ANDINA.- San Agustin Hotel Chain (HSA) will invest
US$10.5 million in the construction of a hostel and
a hotel in Paracas in Peru's Ica region, as well as
other hotel in the Andean city of Cusco, HSA
President Manuel Garcia said.
After solving some environmental problems, they
began construction works of the San Agustin Tourist
Hostel project, which includes a modern tourist
hostel and an ecological hotel located in Paracas
Bay, in the area known as Chaco – La Puntilla.
“A change in the environmental legislation forced us
to reformulate the project, but we have already
begun works and we will not stop,” he said.
He pointed out that works will be finished in
December 2010, when international crisis may be
settled, which also had a negative impact on the
hotel sector.
“We hope there is a recovery in this sector in
2011,” he added.
San Agustin Tourist Hostel will be built in an
11,592 square meters area and will have 202 beds, a
swimming pool, restaurant, bar, hall. Also balconies,
gardens, parking lots, among other services.
This place is designed for tourists who love the sea
and marine life.

TOURISM IN PERU TO GENERATE US$14 BILLION
IN REVENUES IN NEXT TEN YEARS ANDINA.-
Tourism in Peru is likely to generate US$14
billion in revenues in the next ten years,
said experts Peter Kraft and Tibisay
Monsalve, after holding a meeting with the
president of the Directing Counsel of the
National Center of Strategic Planning (Ceplan),
Agustin Haya de la Torre.
Both experts agreed to strengthen this
sector, which according to a recent study
could increase its revenues from US$2.4
billion to $14.8 billion in 2018.
“It is necessary that Peru improves its
tourist offer, starting with airports and
ports, along with promoting the entry of new
airlines and favoring hotel investments,”
Kraft said.
Monsalve stated it's urgent to train hotel
specialized technicians, and consider a
priority the creation of schools, providing
competitive learning.
Finally, both Kraft and Monsalve said that
most entrepreneurs show interest to
participate in strengthening tourism
policies, according to a poll conducted by
the experts.

BRAZILIAN TOUR OPERATORS TO PROMOTE
PERU AS A TOURIST DESTINATION
ANDINA.- The largest Brazilian tour operators
will promote Peru as a tourist and gastronomy
destination, Peru's Foreign Trade and Tourism
Minister Martin Perez said.
"We have met with the leading Brazilian
operators, since we are promoting a new scheme
which seeks to make not only trade but also
gastronomy, craft and investment missions," he
told Andina news agency.
In this regard, Perez said that Peru's Tourism
and Export Promotion Board (PromPerú) recently
signed a shared advertising agreement with CVC,
the largest tour operator in Brazil.
CVC is the first operator in Latin America and
is among the ten largest operators in the world.
In addition, It has 320 outlets and 7,000 travel
agents in its distribution network.
"This is an operator which accounts for nearly
half of tourists moving in and out of Brazil.
Now, with this convention we make shared
advertising to bring more tourists to Peru."

PROMPERU TO PROMOTE TOURISM IN
SOUTHERN PERU FROM BRAZILIAN BORDER CITIES ANDINA.- Peru's
Tourism and Export Promotion Board (Promperu)
will organize the event called “Border Seminar”,
from November 4 to 6 in cities of Rio Branco and
Porto Velho (Brazil) to promote receptive
tourism in southern Peru.
Peru's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur)
said that this event is aimed at tourism
professionals and end consumers, in order to
provide in a direct way the specialized and
current information on Peruvian tourist
destinations, especially of Arequipa, Cusco,
Puno and Madre de Dios regions.
Mincetur authorized the trip of a Promperu
official to these cities to develop activities
related to the tourist promotion of Peru in that
seminar.
Promperu has also planned the participation
together with 40 tourist enterprises of Peru in
the 2009 World Travel Market (WTM) International
Tourism Fair, to be held from November 9 to 12
in London (United Kingdom).
The goal is to strengthen Peru’s position as
tourist destination and diversify the Peruvian
tourist offer, promoting new destinations and
tourist products the country offers.

MORE INCA
STRUCTURES DISCOVERED
IN ANCIENT CONVENT IN CUSCO
ANDINA.- The archaeological research
investigations in the convent of Los Agustinos
in the city of Cusco, where a Marriot Hotel is
being constructed, have led to the discovery of
more structures from the Inca times.
Irwin Ferrandiz, head of the archaeological
monitoring plan, explained that the founding
consists of two walls that will be renewed to
enhance the future hotel complex.
One of the walls, considered the most important,
is 70 cm tall and 80 cm wide.
On the other hand, near the archaeological
findings was found an Inca tomb with 4 stone
objects and ceramics.
Ferrandiz remarked that the edification of the
hotel is being adapted to the archaeological
findings, to preserve them and put value in them.

PET SHOP BOYS
EXPRESS EXCITEMENT
FOR ARRIVAL IN PERU ON TWITTER
ANDINA.- On their Twitter page, British synthpop
band Pet Shop Boys have expressed their
excitement for their arrival in the Peruvian
capital of Lima on Saturday night.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe posted this tweet:
“Exciting arrival in Lima yesterday (Saturday)
night!”
The legendary British duo was welcomed at Jorge
Chavez International Airport by a group of
cheering fans who gathered and waited for hours
to see their idols.
Pet Shop Boys are in Peru to perform at Lima's
Jockey Club del Perú as part of their global
Pandemonium 2009 Tour.
On Saturday night, Tennant and Lowe sang and
drank pisco sour with Peruvian TV host Gisela
Valcarcel on her "El Show de los Sueños” where
the duo had “a lot of fun”, according to another
tweet.
On their last tweet, the band said they will be
wandering around Lima this afternoon.
Pet Shop Boys are to perform in Lima on Tuesday.
UCAYALI USES SOCIAL
NETWORKS
TO PROMOTE TOURISM ANDINA.- Authorities in the jungle
region of Ucayali in eastern Peru are using social networks like
Twitter, Facebook and Hi5 to promote the local tourist attractions
and attract more tourists.
“This is an efficient tool to attract more domestic and foreign
tourists,” local tourism official Oscar Vasquez Alva told Andina.
“Through Twitter, for example, you can receive information about
location, access roads, regional cuisine, upcoming events, photo
galleries and videos of handicrafts made by native communities,” he
said.
Vasquez praised the works performed by Yine native community,
located in the district of Sepahua, Atalaya province, where textiles
with natural dyes are made.
On Hi5, Ucayali authorities have posted nearly 60 photos of the
natural beauty of this area.
Ucayali also uses Flickr and a blog to promote the main activities
celebrated every year.

COMMUNITY-BASED RURAL TOURISM
PROMOTED IN COLCA VALLEY
ANDINA.- Authorities in the southern Peruvian region of
Arequipa and the Spanish Agency for International
Development Cooperation (AECI) have launched a community-based
rural tourism project in the Andean town of Pinchollo,
located in the spectacular Colca Valley.
Seven houses will be renovated to accommodate Peruvian and
foreign tourists so that they can discover first-hand the
local culture and ancient Andean customs.
Pinchollo resident Eloy Cacya said that the promotion of
community-based rural tourism is an important alternative
for the development of his town whose total population lives
on agriculture.
Cacya said local authorities want to implement the
successful community-based tourism project of Sibayo town,
which is also located in Arequipa’s Colca Valley.
“We want to promote this kind of tourism in Pinchollo for
the benefit of our people and to show its natural beauty and
archaeological sites," he said.
Although the houses will be ready to receive tourists by
this year-end, locals are already promoting tourism to
Pinchollo, which is visited by five to seven tourists a day.
San Sebastian de Pinchollo is a little village located in
the Colca Canyon, between Chivay and the "Cruz del Condor"
in Caylloma province, Arequipa.
The 17th-century San Sebastián church in Pinchollo is a
tourist attraction worth visiting, with a baroque altar and
a baptistry with elaborately painted entrance.
The Colca Valley is located 150 km (4 hours) northeast of
Arequipa.
MINISTER OF TOURISM CALLS FOR DEVELOPING
INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN REGIONS
ANDINA.- Minister for Foreign Trade Martin Perez asked
regional and local governments to speed up investment
projects to develop tourism in the country.
“We should be more committed with development projects, some
regions underestimate this sector (tourism), hence it is a
main toll to generate employment and wealth,” he said.
He said the regional government of Tacna could take more
advantages of the potential they have, like Ancash and other
areas of the country, such as the jungle.
Minister Perez noted that tourist operators of several
cities are worried because there is no development plan of
this sector, which also reduces the possibility of receiving
more tourists.
He said that though Peru's Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Tourism (Mincetur) has a quite modest budget, it can execute
some investments and will be interesting if regional
governments can also support this process.
In order to contribute with this purpose, Mincetur signed on
last week an agreement with the Special Agency of the
Chamber of Commerce of Florence (Promofirenze) of Italy, to
establish channels of coordination and cooperation for the
promotion and development of rural tourism in Peru.

PUNO AUTHORITIES
DEVELOP
NEW STRATEGY TO BOOST TOURISM
ANDINA.- In a bid to increase tourist arrivals in the southern
highland department of Puno, local authorities are now developing a
regional strategic plan to identify and promote tourist attractions
in Puno’s thirteen provinces.
The president of Puno’s Regional Chamber of Tourism (Caretur),
Manuel Quiñones Leon, said he hopes that the plan will be
implemented next year.
"Unfortunately, tourist arrivals in the region have decreased this
year by almost 20% compared to 2007 and 2008, when 240,000 people
visited Puno in high season," he said, citing the global crisis and
social conflicts as the main reasons for this situation.
Quiñones added that the plan is developed in coordination by the
Regional Directorate of Foreign Trade and Tourism in Puno, PromPeru,
Caretur and Destination Management Organization (DMO).
"Last month we kicked off our project by visiting the towns of San
Antonio de Putina, Melgar and Lampa, where we met with local
authorities to know the main tourist sites and attractions.
Quiñones said they hope to visit all the 13 provinces by December
this year.
