Peru will host International Tourism Events in 2008

The Commission for the Americas of the UN World Tourism Organization has unanimously designated Peru as the host country for the celebration of the World Tourism Day 2008, which is held every year on September 27. Peru will also be the host for the third International Conference about Tourism and Handicraft in March 2008.

The secretary general of the UNWTO, Francesco Frangialli, was positive with the decision to organize the WTD 2008 in Peru and has point up the country’s tourism potential plus its many archaeological sites as well as its living culture. He added that Peru’s rich and quality handicraft makes it an important host for the craftsmen and craftswomen of the Americas that will attend the International Conference about Tourism and Handicraft.
