Title: Changing the ticketing system - a complex issue worldwide Post by: grahame on January 31, 2024, 20:43:36 From Yahoo (https://news.yahoo.com/machu-picchu-tourism-suffering-week-190033085.html)
Quote The streets, hotels and restaurants around the ruins of Machu Picchu — Peru's most famous tourist attraction — remained almost deserted Wednesday, with train service to the area canceled amid a week-long protest over the outsourcing of entry ticket sales to a private company. Small businesses and workers in the tourism sector fear the new ticketing system imposed by Peru's government 10 days ago will hurt them while benefiting big companies, and their protests have slowed visitor arrivals to a trickle.
