Code Esnna

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). Therefore, the ESNNA Code and MACHUPICCHU MOUNTAIN TOURS have established a joint action agreement to prevent and eradicate this problem. Thus, 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 form associated with travel and tourism, as it is behavior that violates the fundamental rights of individuals and goes against the intrinsic objectives of tourism in our country.

We denounce and condemn those who use tourism activities and the facilities and services offered to promote, facilitate, or tolerate the occurrence of sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents; and based on the foregoing, MACHUPICCHU MOUNTAIN TOURS subscribes to this Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents within the field of Tourism.

This Code is a formal declaration of voluntary adherence, the purpose of which is to establish conduct guidelines for all individuals working at MACHUPICCHU MOUNTAIN TOURS, aimed at protecting girls, boys, and adolescents from all forms of sexual exploitation and human trafficking associated with travel and tourism.

Likewise, the individuals who make up 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 about the company’s policy regarding the prevention of sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in tourism and travel.
• Displaying visible symbols that alert customers and suppliers about our stance on the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in tourism and travel.

  “Tourism promotes a childhood and adolescence free from sexual exploitation; therefore, we do not accept any act that favors the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents.”
