In an attempt to attract more tourists to the home to Machu Picchu -one of the New 7 Wonders of the World- while ensuring the safety of visitors and workers, the government of Cusco proposed the implementation of vaccine tourism. 

 

The proposal was made by the governor Jean Paul Benavente, and it aims at boosting the arrival of tourists from countries where progress has been made on the coronavirus vaccination process, such as Israel and the United States.

 

According to Benavenete, “this campaign will begin on June 24 (Cusco’s jubilee day) and thus take advantage of July and August to receive visitors from the northern hemisphere”, and the project will have the approval of the Ministries of Health and Foreign Trade-Tourism.
