Peru has been nominated for 41 categories in the 2017 edition of prestigious World Travel Awards (WTA) South America, taking place on September 9 in Riviera Maya (Mexico), the Inca nation's Exports and Tourism Promotion Board (PromPeru) announced.

Nominations cover 31 categories for the private sector —hotels, cruises, airports and travel agencies— as well as 10 for Peru as a country.

The latter includes South America's leading destination for business travel, sports tourism, as well as meetings and conferences. 

Peru also competes for the title of best culinary destination, a category it has led for five straight years.

In addition, PromPeru is in the running for leading tourist board in the region.

The said nominations contribute to promoting Peru as a benchmark for tourism activity in Latin America.
 
To choose the winners, voting is open until July 19 through the following link.

WTA South America regional gala winners will then compete in a global Grand Finale on December 10 in Phu Quoc (Vietnam).
