Additional Comments
  • There are too many ads and popups on your site and less about S. America.......I'm thinking of cancelling
    • I dislike popups, too. However, I have nothing to do with the advertising on my site, or any other About site, but I'll pass your comments along.
  • Where can I find information on tourist arrivals for Peru, in particular. I am starting a tour operation, and would like to know the latest figures for marketing purposes. Thanks!
    • I'll research more tourism information, but until I can post it, each country has a Department of Tourism, however it's named, with all sorts of intriguing statistics
  • More info about offers with departure from Europe
    • I'll see what I can do!

Again, thank you!
