III I find Community Rural Tourism Anchash, Chavin de Huantar, Huascarán. Peru

Lately my relation with Peru is very fluid, curiously like 15 years ago I traveled already to this country for personal motives and could enjoy the beauties of Lima, Cuzco and Machu Pichu between others. Some years later I have returned and have been a very changed, very improved country and especially with desire of turning into a big sustainable tourist destination. Since you know when I always travel I am equipped with my Flip and my computer, to be recording the experiences of the trips.

This time invited as Phone companhy Mobile of Peru and as the MINCETUR I had the opportunity to take part like speaker in III Meeting of Community Rural Tourism of Peru, program that is achieving that the rural tourism of Peru develops in a sustainable way and that the tourism serves so that beneficiary sees the whole community of a place.

Of these 5 days that I spent of a place for other knowing the people taking part in the event, gatherings, exchanges, knowledge, etc, there were following aspects those that more attracted attention of me:

  • The Community Rural Tourism TRC, it has a sostenibilidad approach and responsabilida social important (I recommend to you the video - interview of Cecilia Raffo and Roger Valencia if you are interested in the topic) the principal target it is to make to work to the communities, groups and small villages of a joint way and in podriamos to say in network, to extract the biggest profit of the tourism especially to extract many people of the state of instability and poverty.
  • The TRC has to serve to reinforce and to support the ancestral traditions of the Peruvian culture, with thousands of years of antiquity and this one also it has to be an aspect that contributes value to the product experiencial, they do not sell beds sell, these if, a real tourist experience (this I could verify it in my own meats)
  • The TRC wants to prevent the people from having to emigrate towards the big metropolises and from being able to forge a better future in his community, perhaps, who they will see the authentic results they will be the next generations who were inheriting the work that now is started
  • The Program TCR does not want that all those who belong to a community devote themselves to the tourism, must organize themselves so that some devote themselves to the accommodation, others to cultivate the food, others to create craft, etc. etc. looking for a balance and doing that the tourism is the engine of the community but that beneficiaries see all
  • The countries that some of them consider of the third world, are prepared and very much and are giving important steps in the topic técnológico, therefore we should not fall asleep in the kudos

I would like that in Spain tuvieramós a rural tourism with a joint vision copying some of the aspects like which I have just named, especially in the aspect of the collaboration and to be employed at vision of destination and not at vision company / business. It is already not a question of having a house or a more or less nice and cozy rural hotel in a natural environment, habalmos of product and of destination. In the last workshops of tourist innovation that we have realized jointly with lasse, for Asturias, La Rioja, etc. we have always tried to transmit to the participants the need to do networking and to collaborate between companies that are compatible to improve the product and to contribute value to the destination.

I leave to you the videos that I have been recording during my trip, in which I could have seen incredible sceneries, to interview persons much compromised with the Peruvian rural tourism and his emprendimientos, anyway an experience that I recommend to you enormously.
