The Peruvian government launched a new strategy today. Officials want to position the Imperial City on the global business travel map. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) presented a special tool. They released the ‘Cusco Historical MICE Venues Catalog’ recently. This publication aims to boost Cusco MICE tourism significantly. It features 20 unique heritage spaces. These locations are perfect for hosting international corporate events, large conventions, and specialized exhibitions.
Promoting Cusco MICE Tourism Globally
Vice Minister of Tourism Liz Chirinos Cuadros led the official presentation. She hosted the launch event at the Monasterio A Belmond Hotel. She explained that this catalog represents a major milestone for regional development. It helps strengthen the city as a highly competitive business destination. The guide highlights diverse locations for congresses, incentive trips, and corporate meetings. Authorities want to show the world that the city offers excellent specialized services alongside its famous cultural heritage.
The new catalog organizes these 20 exclusive venues into four distinct categories. Event planners can choose from sacred heritage sites and luxury private hotels. They can also select historical colonial courtyards or academic museum spaces. The government published this comprehensive document in both Spanish and English. Soon, users will download it online completely free of charge. Promperú will use this tool directly in their international promotional campaigns. They aim to attract global investors and large corporate groups.
South American Business Travel Growth
The meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions sector offers excellent economic opportunities. It diversifies regional travel options and effectively reduces seasonal dependency. Currently, Peru ranks as the fifth largest destination for business events across South America. The national sector experienced a massive 14% annual growth rate last year. This rapid expansion benefits local transport providers, restaurants, and hospitality workers immensely.
In 2025, the country successfully hosted 93 major international congresses. The Imperial City played a standout role by hosting 12 of these associative events. Officials expect this specific number to grow rapidly. Modern travelers want more than just basic meeting infrastructure today. They actively seek authenticity and deep cultural connections during their trips. By opening these historic doors, the government ensures a bright future for Cusco MICE tourism. These strategic efforts closely mirror the recent Lima MICE tourism growth reported earlier this month.
