Tourism in Peru<\/strong> looked solid and growing. Since January that year,  we began to get a greater number of last minute visitors as the growing Covid-19<\/strong> virus was spreading through Asia and visitors preferred to be away from the area. Nobody would ever imagined that once it reached Europe in the way it reached Italy and Spain, the impact would be so high worldwide that it would put almost every country in the world in a state of health emergency. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For mid-March, Peru only presented one case.  We all trusted that the quarantine would last only 15 days and we would resume our activities because the virus did not represent any risk for us, we were so far from Asia, even Europe but we agreed to applaud the security measures<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the early days of the state of emergency, the news began to get more and more negative.<\/span> Each day, the infections increased and each week the quarantine extended lasting until June 2020 when we finally got less restrictions.
<\/span><\/span>In addition, <\/span><\/span>the global news was discouraging.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of the global situation, all trips scheduled through July 2020 were canceled.<\/span> Although Japan insisted on holding the Olympics, we wondered how our representatives could travel?<\/span>. National and international flights were suspended and would not return until July or August of that year.<\/span> Peru experienced the worst of situations in Latin America.<\/span> Covid-19 virus claimed many lives and left a lot of pain and fear.<\/span> There was some light between November and December 2020\u00a0 and it resurfaced until May 2021.<\/span> Our image internationally was the worst over all this time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
