Seattle University Tourism in Peru: Economic Benefits at the Cost of Cultural Loss A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences In Candidacy for the Degree of Departmental Honors in International Studies By Doni Uyeno June 2018 Uyeno, Doni Tourism in Peru: Economic Benefits at the Cost of Cultural Loss 3 Abstract This thesis attempts to evaluate and understand what makes tourism unsustainable within the Sacred Valley of Peru. It challenges the traditional way of measuring the impacts of tourism through its economic benefits and instead measures the impacts of tourism through its contributions to cultural loss. This thesis starts with an understanding of the impacts of tourism in a global context, followed by a case study focusing specifically on tourism in the Sacred Valley of Peru. The critical evaluation of tourism leads to the conclusion that tourism needs to be monitored and evaluated through processes that take cultural loss into consideration while centering the voices of the communities that are being negatively impacted by tourism.

    JICA Pilot Study for Rural Development through Tourism Promotion Final Report Republic of Peru 4. PROPOSED PROGRAM FOR PRIORITY PROJECTS In this Chapter, the priority interventions on the following components of the proposed program are to be identified. 4.1. Tourism - On-site Value Enhancement - Off-site Service and Facilities - Tourism Marketing 4.2. Infrastructure - Transport - Electricity - Water and Sanitation - Telecommunication - Solid Waste Management Regarding the method of identification of priority intervention for each component, the existing plans and project profiles, if available, are initially collected from concerned ministries and agencies in order to formulate a long list of projects. After the completion of the long list, the status of implementation of those identified plans was reviewed, and by evaluating each plan according to the set criteria by the Study Team1 and taking into consideration the overall balance of the projects, a short list for each component was formulated. In this process, several discussions with the related ministries and agencies were held so that their opinions would also be considered in the list of priority projects. The list of all the priority projects in the proposed program is summarized in Attachement 5 by sub-program component as well as by priority area. 4.1 Sub-Programs for Tourism In this section, the identified tourism sector projects are to be presented. The identified projects are directly related to tourism strategies and actions for the long-, medium- and short-terms.

Solemn pilgrimages honor gods both Christian and indigenous. Neon-lit discos get jam-packed with reveling youth. Ancient ruins regularly divulge bits of prehistory. And then, of course, there is the food – a bounty of sublime concoctions made from ingredients native and contemporary. Welcome to Peru – it’s going to be one tasty trip. RICHARD I’ANSON 02-best-of-per7.indd 5 17/12/2009 1:21:43 PM 6 Essential Peru There’s north, there’s south, desert and jungle. There are museums to visit, lakes to ogle, waves to surf, labyrinthine cities to explore – and enough ancient ruins to keep archaeologists employed for centuries. Where to start? This is our guide to a few essentials.

SUMMARY OF TOURISM IN PERU AND UK VISITORS STATISTICS Peru has seen landmark tourism developments in recent years, including the inauguration of the long-awaited Kuelap Cable Car, opening up access to northern Peru’s celebrated pre-Inca city, the launch of South America’s first luxury sleeper train, the Belmond Andean Explorer, and a number of new international and domestic flight routes boosting connectivity from the UK into Peru, and between the north and south of the country. While Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu remain high on the bucket lists of international travellers, in the past few years Peru’s north has been in the spotlight after being effectively promoted as an undiscovered alternative to Peru’s popular southern tourism circuit. Peru is now celebrating Lonely Planet having recently named Northern Peru, including the ancient fortress of Kuelap and the Chachapoyas region, as a must-visit destination in its renowned Best in Travel ‘Top 10 Regions’ 2019 list. Peru’s reputation as a leading responsible tourism destination has continued to gain momentum throughout 2018.
