Essna Code

The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism has created the policy against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (ESNNA). The ESNNA code and MACHU PICCHU GOLDEN have an agreement for joint actions to prevent and eradicate this problem.

The ESNNA Program and Our Commitment

Said policy program for social development and protection of vulnerable populations is a broad and complex initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).

It consists of raising awareness and training the entire sector in our country with the aim of preventing and finally eliminating exploitation sexuality of minors. We have recently obtained the CALTUR - Level 2 Certification, also from Mincetur, and we are aligned with the most demanding government regulations for optimal tourism quality.

Specifically in the case of authorized and certified tourism agencies such as MACHU PICCHU GOLDEN, the ESNNA program requests adherence to a Code of Conduct, which is signed with the Mincetur. It requires the company to disclose this initiative, its rules and objectives. Also, that adequate training of staff and suppliers be carried out. Of course, the company is committed to working following all the requirements of the Code.

Unfortunately, in Peru child trafficking is a serious problem, but it is being fought. By carrying out ethically responsible tourism, MACHU PICCHU GOLDEN brings development, economic activity and improvement of the standard of living in the destinations we visit. Along these lines, our commitment to The ESNNA program also generates that we help to reduce and eradicate the sexual exploitation of minors.

Concrete Actions – ESNNA Code

Adherence to the Code of Conduct of the ESNNA program commits us to constantly put into practice a series of actions that are performed and reinforced as part of the activities.

Our office staff, as well as the logistics staff (guides, cooks, drivers, loaders) already they are duly trained to contribute to the Code of Conduct. To the tourist, whether national or foreign, it is not offered to you in any way nor is it accessed to any request regarding sex tourism with children or adolescents, for both ethical and legal reasons

Along the same lines, we act together with our associates (hotels, restaurants, etc. and the entire of its staff) so that the objectives and commitments with the ESNNA program are fulfilled in all sectors and stages of the tourism services we provide.

All of us at MACHU PICCHU GOLDEN and also the partners in our operations have the commitment to enforce the ENNSA Code of Conduct and denounce the authorities when necessary.

The actions of the ESNNA code and MACHU PICCHU GOLDEN stand out and have priority within our social responsibility policies. We seek tourism to be an activity that leaves only benefits for the region and the country, according to what is stipulated in the mission, vision and values corporate.
