COLCA VALLEY AND CANYON AND THE CITY OF AREQUIPA

Let’s celebrate with Arequipa! The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) awarded the international Safe Travels seal to two tourist destinations in the Arequipa region: Destino Valle y Cañón del Colca and Destino Arequipa Ciudad, which guarantees that they comply with biosecurity protocols and are safe before the COVID-19.

TEAMWORK

It should be noted that the awarding of the seal is part of a joint effort between Mincetur and regional and local authorities and the private sector. In this way, information was gathered, as well as verification of compliance with the protocols. In addition, technical support was provided for the development and implementation of surveillance plans and biosecurity measures for tourist attractions, inspections and monitoring actions for tourism service providers with the competent entities.

TOURISM REACTIVATION

Vice-minister Lyda García commented that this tourism recognition is the first in the world in terms of safety and hygiene, before COVID-19. And that is why tourism reactivation is fundamental, but it must go hand in hand with strict compliance with biosafety protocols.

Having the Safe Travels seal opens the doors for more visitors to these destinations to feel safe, but we must remember that the civic task of respecting biosafety protocols for tourism must also be fulfilled. So, now you know, Arequipa is waiting for you! Visit it responsibly.
