On the occasion of the celebrations for National HolidaysThursday, July 28 and Friday, July 29 will be holidays, thus generating a long weekend that will be used by many people as an opportunity to go on a trip.
For this reason, Marco Antonio Salazar, manager of Electronic Commerce and Marketing of Costamar Travel, shares a recent analysis on the favorite destinations of Peruvians to travel during National Holidays.
international destinations
Among the most requested international destinations are all those that have a beach, among them: Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen and Punta Cana.
These destinations concentrate 40% of the demand. Their preference is explained by the fact that travelers want to take these holidays as rest days, especially if traveling in a group or with the family; as well as the availability of flights and the existence of all-inclusive alternatives, be it a family or luxury package.

On the other hand, there are also closer destinations such as Cartagena and San Andrés, mainly taken by couples who are resuming their trips and want to spend a honeymoon-style moment.
Other types of destinations include those that involve shopping and family fun, such as Miami and Orlando (mainly for their amusement parks). These destinations, although they require an entry visa, are always among the most requested.
national destinations
As for national destinations, the northern beaches such as Zorritos and Punta Sal are the most requested by travelers who seek to take advantage of holidays to get out of the routine and rest.
However, there are other destinations whose popularity is not far behind, such as Tarapoto and Cusco, where experiences such as glamping in the Sacred Valley are in high demand for the same reasons.
“We have seen that many clients for domestic trips use their miles and that although they can carry out their management directly, they are seeking advice and support from the agencies, mainly due to the rescheduling of flights due to social events that have had the most impact. when making the decision to travel within Peru”Salazar pointed out.
Domestic destinations near Lima, such as Ica or Paracas, also have very interesting accommodation and activity offers, which makes them preferred places for tourists seeking adventure destinations.
