Between January and April of this year, 1 million 16,618 international tourists entered Peru, according to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).
Compared to the same quarter of 2023, there is an increase of 53.4%, which reflects the good performance of the sector in its intention to return to pre-pandemic levels.

These six countries cover 67.1% of arrivals.
