PROMPERÚ, the Peruvian government agency dedicated to the promotion of foreign trade, tourism and the Peru brand on an international scale, announced that it had awarded the mandate for its tourism promotion in Quebec to Gwendoline Duval.
Gwendoline is well known in the industry, having been editor-in-chief of Profession Voyage magazine for many years. In this key role, she will work closely with the PROMPERU team to attract more Quebec travelers. Its main objectives will be to assist travel agents and tour operators in their training on the destination and the development of their offers to travelers. “We are delighted to entrust this mandate to Gwendoline Duval to develop the Quebec market, one of the priority markets for PROMPERU in North America. With the recent increase in air connections to our capital Lima, Quebec has never been so close to Peru and its wonders. It is therefore necessary to have on-site representation to support our local partners in the development of their offers,” explains Yhisella Díaz, Canadian market specialist within the Tourism Promotion Department, PROMPERÚ.
Remember that Peru is now served by direct flights all year round on the wings of Air Transat and with a stopover on Copa Airlines, Avianca and Aeromexico. She adds: “Gwendoline has solid expertise in the field of travel and very good relationships with Quebec tour operators and travel agents. I am confident that it will be a significant addition to the development of the destination with a view to returning to pre-pandemic attendance levels. » Gwendoline Duval, previously director and editor-in-chief of a publication for travel professionals in Quebec, recently founded her public relations and marketing agency of which PROMPERÚ is now a major client.
Gwendoline succeeds Renée Wilson, founder of Destination Marketing who had this mandate since 2019. “I am happy to have won this call for tenders with the government of Peru to develop this beautiful destination in Quebec. I thank Yhisella Díaz and Renée Wilson for supporting me so well in taking on this new mandate,” declares Gwendoline Duval. “Peru is a unique destination, rich in history, culture and spectacular landscapes. I look forward to working with Quebec travel professionals to help them better promote this unique destination to their clients. » She adds: “Dear agents and partners, do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a meeting or a call to discuss your plans for Peru. And if you don’t have one yet, count on me to change your mind! In the meantime, remember to register on our agent portal so you don’t miss any news and educotours: peruagent.com/login
