A study conducted by the Peruvian Association of Inbound and Internal Tourism Operators (APOTUR) indicates that 74.5% of potential travelers are choosing to avoid Peru due to ongoing complications regarding ticket sales for Machu Picchu. This shift in travel plans has resulted in tourists opting for alternative destinations, specifically Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
The findings highlight that difficulties in the planning and booking process for visiting the site are negatively impacting the country's tourism sector. These administrative challenges are cited as a primary deterrent for thousands of prospective visitors, signaling a significant decline in travel intent for the region.
