Chinese agency chooses Peru for "Best Potential Destination" Award

The most popular travel agency in China, CTRIP, voted Peru the “Best Potential Tourist Destination” Award for 2015.

On Saturday, Peru officially received its title from the Chinese travel agency in a ceremony held in Lijiang, a city of the Yunnan province in China. Since it began in 2009, the web-site’s users have selected five other annual best destination awards. Through joint efforts between the Peruvian Embassy and China, tourism promotion boomed in the Asian country, as President Ollanta Humala announced in the APEC Summit in Beijing last November.

The travel agency, CTRIP, provides flight services, hotel reservations, vacation packages, tours, transportation, and guides for its 141 million followers on its web-site. The site is highly accessible to its users as it provides an interface available in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean.

Chinese tourism to Peru alone totaled over 100 million trips in 2014 according to Andina news agency.
