The ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, which reopened on April 1 to visitors after being closed since late January due to heavy rainfall and mudslides, has become an accessible and attractive option for British tourists on summer holidays this year.
According to Skyscanner, Machu Pichu is among top five tourist destinations worldwide that are welcoming back visitors after suffering from a fall in tourism due to various incidents, ranging from epidemics to natural disasters.
In January 2010, massive flooding in the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu trapped 4000 tourists and led to the closure of the ancient Inca site. Searches on Skyscanner for flights to Peru plummeted by 57% after the flooding.
Following two months of closure, the "Lost City of the Incas" is now welcoming visitors again and searches for Peru flights have since returned to their pre-flood levels.
Skyscanner, a flight search engine that allows users to browse for flights via price and location, reported that besides Machu Picchu, the other former disaster stricken destinations are Mexico, Sarajevo in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Greece and Kashmir.
