Peru will present six new products which have been designed to increase its appeal to a worldwide market.
They include several eco-tourism projects, a Llama trek along the Cordillera Blanca and an expedition to archaelogical sites, ancient farms and rural communities.

Colombia’s national airline, Avianca, will be taking its own stand for the first time this year. A spokesman for the carrier said it wanted to highlight its services to the whole of Latin America, not just Colombia.
