She also talks about new tourism products like the Amazon Explorer, the first-ever Peruvian Amazon River expedition yacht; Suasi Resort, Lake Titicaca, a new eco-resort on the lake's only private island; and Lima's luxury boom including a new The Ritz-Carlton and new JW Marriott Hotel in San Isidro, both debuting in 2028.
