ESNA CODE

The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism has created a policy against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (ESNNA).

The ESNNA code and AITA PERU have an agreement for joint actions to prevent and eradicate this problem.

The ESNNA Programme and Our Commitment

The programme on policy for social development and protection of vulnerable populations, indigenous and native communities is a positive and comprehensive initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).

It aims to sensitise and train all sectors in our country, with the objective of preventing and ultimately eliminating the sexual exploitation of minors.

Recently our company has obtained the CALTUR – Level 2 and Mincetur certifications, AITA PERU is aligned with the most demanding government regulations for the optimal quality of our tourism services.

The ESNNA programme requires adherence to a Code of Conduct, which is signed with Mincetur. It requires the company to disseminate this initiative, its standards and objectives. It also requires adequate training of staff and suppliers. Of course, the company commits itself to work according to all the requirements of the Code.

Unfortunately, child trafficking is a critical problem in Peru, but it is being combated.

 Through responsible and ethical tourism AITA PERU brings development, activates the local economy and improves the standard of living in the tourist destinations we offer to travellers. Our commitment to the ESNNA programme also means that we contribute to reducing and eradicating the sexual exploitation of minors.
