INTERVIEW<br />
“THERE IS A LOT TO<br />
BE DONE NOT ONLY<br />
BY THE MINISTRY<br />
OF CULTURE AND<br />
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN<br />
TRADE AND TOURISM;<br />
REGIONAL AND LOCAL<br />
GOVERNMENTS ARE<br />
ALSO RESPONSIBLE<br />
FOR LAND USE<br />
ASPECTS”<br />
What sections do you th<strong>in</strong>k have potential for <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />
tourism?<br />
Pr<strong>in</strong>cipally the section from Huanucopampa to Huamachuco.<br />
We can see visitors <strong>in</strong> this zone; not many,<br />
but there are small suppliers offer<strong>in</strong>g places to stay, for<br />
example. Trekkers share <strong>in</strong>formation on where to stay,<br />
where to eat, etc. It’s a section that attracts Europeans. It<br />
also conta<strong>in</strong>s different sites, treks, scenery and people.<br />
There are sites and tourist attractions <strong>in</strong> the area, such<br />
as Chav<strong>in</strong> and even Huaraz. It’s a long stretch, but the<br />
idea is to create a macro-it<strong>in</strong>erary out of the whole section,<br />
and micro-it<strong>in</strong>eraries as components of it.<br />
