Lima has experienced one of the greatest growths in tourism in the world over the previous years. And this year, the growth was driven primarily by the international conferences of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in addition to the growing popularity of gastronomy.
More than 4.22 million tourists visited Lima in 2015, according to Mastercard’s report, “Global Destination Cities Index”. This represents a 7% increase compared to 2014. The 2015 was a good year for tourism in Lima; more tourists visited the Peruvian capital than any other Latin American city.
"In 2016 the growth of 7% should repeat itself from this year. The first months will be affected for the fear of circulated information in the world of the phenomenon El Niño. And with the Olympics in Brazil, the same thing could happen as with the World Cup when the travelers prefered to go there.” said Jochamowitz.
