Peru seeks to criminalize unaccredited tourist guides and irregular tubular vehicle use

Peru's government, via Mincetur, proposes legislation to classify as a crime the provision of tourist services by unaccredited guides and the irregular use of tubular vehicles, following recent incidents in Cusco. The measure aims to complement existing administrative penalties, though details on enforcement and scope remain unclear. This marks a policy shift toward criminalization in the tourism sector, potentially affecting local operators and safety standards.
