International Hotels Are Investing In New Locations In Paracas

Paracas Natural Reserve is expected to become the second favorite tourist spot after the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru due to its upward trend in visitor arrivals accompanied by the increase of hotel-oriented investments.

“The natural landmark has become a very popular destination for travelers from within Peru and abroad,” Paracas National Reserve’s head Steve Marthans said.

The country’s top natural reserve, located in the southern Ica region, attracted a record high of 200,572 tourists in 2013, up 12 percent from the visitors mark recorded a year earlier.

“The reported rise in overseas tourist arrivals is resulting in the growing interest of large-scale international hotel companies [that are] gaining presence in the area,” Marthans said.

Furthermore, the tourism official stressed that the opening of several new five-star accommodations and resorts in Paracas has been a key factor which has boosted its annual visitor growth.
