Peru: A mecca for culture and cuisine

Peru, the stunning South American country, has once again taken the stage of international recognition, this time at the World Travel Awards 2023. Dubbed the “Oscars of Tourism,” these awards are considered the highest honor in the travel and tourism industry. Peru triumphed in two categories: as the world's leading cultural destination for the fifth time and as the best culinary destination for the eleventh time.

Peru vs. The World: Cultural Dominance
Peru beat off tough competition, including countries such as Cambodia, Cuba, Spain and Vietnam, to win the title of world's top cultural destination for the fifth time. What makes Peru so special? The answer lies in its rich history, from the fascinating traces of Inca culture to the impressive ruins of Machu Picchu. The country's cultural diversity is reflected in every corner, from the historic cities to the traditional village communities.

Peru tastes like success: culinary excellence
Peru's gastronomic scene has conquered the world, and for good reason. Peru was named best culinary destination for the 11th time, beating out 15 competing countries, including food heavyweights such as Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Italy, France, Japan and Thailand. Peruvian cuisine is not only a culinary experience, but also a journey through the diversity of flavors influenced by the most diverse geographical regions of the country.

A look at the World Travel Awards 2023: Meaning and impact
The question that now arises: Did this prestigious award achieve anything for Peru? After all, this is not the first time the country has won this title. It is a question that is relevant not only for Peru, but also for other countries that regularly receive awards in various categories.

The World Travel Awards undoubtedly set an internationally recognized quality standard in the tourism industry. They act as a guide for travelers looking for extraordinary destinations. The award not only confirms Peru's excellence, but also promotes tourism and global attention.

The Meaning of Recognition: Peru's Pride and Responsibility
The repeated honoring of Peru as a leading cultural and culinary destination should not only serve as a source of pride for the locals, but also as an incentive to continue the collective effort. Angelica Matsuda, Executive President of PROMPERÚ, emphasizes that these awards reflect the efforts of all Peruvians and underline the country's cultural and gastronomic diversity.

The awards are not only a snapshot of success, but also a commitment to continue to promote sectoral strategies and highlight Peru's diverse tourism offering. In a world where travelers are increasingly seeking authentic experiences, awards like these are critical to drawing attention to unique destinations.

Peru as a tourism leader in South America
Peru's regional awards in the categories "Best Culinary Destination in South America", "Best Cultural Destination in South America" ​​and "Best Leading Destination in South America" ​​in August this year reaffirm not only Peru's global but also regional leadership position in tourism. These awards show that Peru plays a key role not only on the world stage, but also in South America.

The World Travel Awards 2023 have once again placed Peru at the center of the international tourism landscape. The awards are not only an acknowledgment of Peru's cultural and culinary excellence, but also a call to further promote and preserve this heritage. The question of whether these awards have any impact on Peru remains open, but one thing is certain: they help cement Peru as a unique and unforgettable destination in the hearts of people around the world.
