"Best culinary destination", "Best Green Destination: Machu Picchu" and "Best Tourist Office: PromPerú" are the three categories in which Peru has been nominated for. Peru won all these awards at the regional level a few months ago.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) invites the general public to vote at www.worldtravelawards.com/vote.
