Peru to Flaunt its Roots at International Tourism Fair in Madrid
 
Peru’s Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism Eduardo Ferreyros will travel to Madrid (Spain) to inaugurate the Peruvian stand at FITUR 2011 International Tourism Fair, to be held from January 19 to 23.

Tourism promotion agencies, operators, hotels, travel agencies, consultancies and experts in international tourism management and development will all meet in Madrid for FITUR, which celebrates its 31st edition.

Last year FITUR, considered one of the main tourism fairs in Europe, gathered 10,966 exhibiting companies from 166 countries and regions, 124,644 professional participants and 7,532 journalists.

Minister Ferreyros will also be part of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Peru’s Tourism and Export Promotion Board (Promperu) and the Institute of Tourism of Spain (Turespaña).

The minister will also travel to New Delhi (India) on January 16 to 17 in order to have work meetings with government authorities and entrepreneurs from the Asian country. Peru is set to start Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with India right after finishing the corresponding feasibility study.
