Rural community-based tourism in Cusco will be one of the highlights at the Fifth Latin American and Europe Trade Show of Tourism, Art and Culture (Euroal 2010) to be held on June 3-5 in Spain.
Regional trade and tourism director Victor Hugo Perez said the presentation is part of Cusco's efforts to revive its tourism industry, affected by heavy rains and floods early this year.
"We are working hard to recover what we lost due to temporary closure of Machu Picchu, and our participation in Euroal will be a point in our favor," he told Andina.
The Latin America and Europe Trade Show of Tourism, Art and Culture (Euroal) will be held at the Trade Fairs and Congress Center of Torremolinos in Costa del Sol from June 3rd to June 5th 2010.
The event is expected to attract hundreds of travel agents, tour operators, tourism professionals and representatives of specialized companies. Community-based tourism aims at increasing local people's involvement in tourism, by emphasizing tours and cultural programs that are run by rural communities.
