Peru, MICE Destination
Twenty-first century infrastructure, attention to every last detail, original attractions, world-class cuisine. In Peru, you’ll find everything you need for meeting and event tourism. And much, much more.
One of the defining traits of our personality as Peruvians is a passion for making sure that our guests receive only the best attention. For us, demanding clientele—of the sort that attends events—deserves the same treatment as our closest of friends: we give them only the best. And in our case, the best means more than pleasant lodgings, modern facilities, and professionals ready and willing to exceed your expectations.
Peru has hit the twenty-first century at full speed, having experienced sustained economic growth for more than fifteen years now, led by private investment in areas such as mining, finance, manufacturing, and, of course, tourism.
The heritage of our past, which makes us a one-of-a-kind destination, blends seamlessly with modernity and progress. One of the most eloquent examples of this is investment in hotels, primarily international chains that have focused their strategies on the Peruvian market in an effort to develop meeting and event tourism. Lima has accumulated enormous experience in hosting the world’s most important events over the past decade, and is now preparing to inaugurate its new convention center. Along with the country’s capital, cities such as Arequipa and Cusco, as well as the seaside resort of Paracas, are also perfectly positioned to host congresses, meetings, and incentive travel events. Tailor-made activities, unequalled cuisine, and cultural attractions that won’t be found anywhere else, along with Peruvians’ world-famous friendliness, are all here waiting for you.
More Than You Expect
What makes Peru so special is its cultural legacy. The Inca Empire was one of history’s great civilizations—Machu Picchu is the icon for which we are internationally renowned—but before the Incas, dozens of cultures populated our territory, leaving their mark on countless areas of science and art (such as medicine, engineering, architecture, textiles, metalworking, and ceramics, just to name a few).
Nowadays, innumerable archaeological sites throughout the country marvel visitors from around the world.
Five millennia of culture were enriched by the arrival of the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, along with the subsequent contributions of Africans, Europeans, and Asians, who brought their customs with them and adapted them to their new home in Peru. It is for this very reason that our cuisine is so highly acclaimed for its originality, while our music boasts melodies and rhythms that have traveled halfway across the world, fusing into traditional dances and outfits with a diversity that makes them truly unique.
We as Peruvians are this way by nature. We welcome our guests with our vast heritage while striving to make them feel right at home.
