- Important English-speaking media dedicates reports to Peruvian gastronomy as told by its protagonists.
- Articles focus on the success of Peruvian cuisine and the country's remarkable biodiversity.
Maxim, an influential British magazine based in the United States, has published remarkable articles in its print and digital versions where it emphasizes the culinary excellence that characterizes Lima, the capital of Peru.
The prestigious gastronomic journalist Nicholas Stecher, a professional of the Anglo-American media staff, toured Lima, Cusco, and the Sacred Valley, experiencing first-hand our country's cultural richness and biodiversity.
The magazine, considered one of the most influential among the American male audience, takes its readers on an adventure told by some of the most important chefs of our country, where success stories are the guiding thread to the abundant richness of our country: Peruvian biodiversity is the product of its stunning geographical contrasts, and its culinary culture is the result of an ancient heritage enriched by constant migratory flows throughout our history.
Maxim emphasized that Lima is an unmissable destination for lovers of good food. Likewise, the title of the printed version of the article, "Kingdom of Heaven", alludes to his visit to Cusco and the importance of altitude as a climatic factor in the different ecological levels that make our country one of the world's main places of diversity. These genetic resources of plants and animals, as well as our long agricultural tradition and Andean cultural diversity, position us as an inexhaustible pantry of products for the world.
Gastronomic Tourism in Peru
Gastronomic tourism implies that travelers can get to know and learn through experiences where eating, tasting, and enjoying gastronomic culture involves the identification with a territory; this culinary identity is a primary element of differentiation.
As a result of the pandemic, gastronomic tourism will be supportive and collaborative, focused on uncrowded destinations, rural, safe and innocuous, healthy and nutritious environments. It is ideal for tourism to strengthen the sector's recovery, enhanced by the close relationship of Peruvian gastronomy with national identity.
In this sense, PROMPERU's Tourism Promotion Department is directing its efforts toward three fundamental objectives: To increase the flow of international gastronomic tourism by promoting tourism experiences and products based on regional gastronomy; to boost the tourism experience around the value chain of native inputs such as our superfoods that go hand in hand with regional cuisines to contribute to their conservation and sustainable use; to foster the generation of strategic alliances and tools aimed at promoting and positioning the country as a leading destination in gastronomic tourism.
Peru remains positioned as the gastronomic reference in the region and one of the world's main gastronomic references, continuously being highlighted by the leading international media. Thus, the United Kingdom's Daily Mail, a newspaper with one million copies published daily, published an article on the travel experience in our country, stating that the combination of the different tourist attractions and the renowned Peruvian gastronomy creates an unforgettable experience for visitors. A must-see destination for gourmets from all over the world.
