Peru's Minister of Trade and Tourism, Martín Pérez, said that his sector is working in bringing international celebrities like Sting and Bette Middler to Machu Picchu, as part of the strategy to promote Cusco worldwide.
“Susan Sarandon's visit had a great media coverage. Actually it was way bigger than we had expected and her visit helped us increase tourism by 7%,” he said.
“Sarandon's photos in Machu Picchu were seen all around the globe,” remarked Perez.
The government decided to invite celebrities as a way to help rebuild tourism in Cusco, after the heavy rainfalls and floods that took place last January.
Perez said that he would also like to bring Sandra Bullock to visit Cusco.
