Document Summary
Comfortable meeting strangers and fascinated by new culture. Tourism in china rapidly new and expanding. Tourism in peru is 3rd largest industry, behind fishing and mining. Cultural tourism is largest sector with 2 focuses. Old colonial architecture of cities like lima, arequipa, cuzco. Only people really there are government or business people. 20. 3m international visitors 2010, 8th most in world for that year. Rapidly increased since collapse of soviet socialist republic in 1991. Removed from tourism for 50 years so very attractive. Do not put in effort to seek new adventure/experience but are not opposed to it. A lot of natural and man-made beauty. British come here because strong british colonial heritage still reflected by bajan culture. Tourism has declined significantly from peak in 2000. Frequently return to familiar destinations aim to relax. Double decker buses and telephone booths make it number one psycho-centric destination. Lots of history such as castles and royal family.
