Peru Probes Ticket Hoarding at Machu Picchu by Tour Agencies

Peruvian authorities are investigating allegations that over 40 tour agencies hoarded up to 11,200 Machu Picchu tickets without payment, disrupting tourist access and damaging the site's reputation. The claim is based on a local official's call for investigation; no formal charges or evidence have been released. This matters as it could lead to regulatory changes in Peru's tourism sector and affect visitor access to a major global heritage site.
