ESNNA Code

In accordance with Law No. 28251, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) has created the policy against the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents (ESNNA). As such, the ESNNA code and INFO MACHU PICCHU have a joint action agreement to prevent and eradicate this problem. Therefore, we declare that:

We reject the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents (ESNNA) in Peru and around the world, in general and particularly in its modality associated with travel and tourism, as it is conduct that violates fundamental human rights and is contrary to the intrinsic objectives of the tourism activity in our country.

We denounce and condemn those who use tourism activity and the facilities and services we offer to promote, facilitate, or tolerate the occurrence of the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents; and by virtue of the foregoing. INFO MACHU PICCHU subscribes to this Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents in the Tourism sector.

The present Code is a formal, voluntary declaration whose purpose is to establish standards of conduct for all people who work at INFO MACHU PICCHU aimed at protecting girls, boys, and adolescents from all forms of sexual exploitation and human trafficking associated with travel and tourism.

Furthermore, all individuals who are part of this Company, in order to take the necessary measures to protect girls, boys, and adolescents against sexual exploitation, commit to:

• Maintaining an ethical policy of rejecting the commercial sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in the context of travel and tourism.
• Informing and training staff on the company’s policy regarding the prevention of the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in tourism and travel.
• Maintaining visible symbols that alert clients and suppliers about the company’s position regarding the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in tourism and travel.
• Including a clause in contracts with tourism service providers declaring the common rejection of the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents. The following paragraph will be used: “Tourism promotes a childhood and adolescence free of sexual exploitation, therefore, we do not accept any act that favors the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents.”
