Despite the fact that 2009 did not register any increase in receptive tourism, Peru's Tourism Minister Martín Pérez estimated that during 2010 Peru will receive 2.2 million tourists, that is, 200,000 more than last year.

According to Perez, 2.56 million tourists arrived in Peru during 2008, while only 2.30 million arrived in 2009; however, he estimated that receptive tourism will grow in Peru, since it is decreasing in another countries due to international financial crisis and AH1N1 influenza issues. (Mexico)
