El premio entregado por World Travel Awards recayó por segundo año consecutivo sobre Sernatur, organismo púbico nacional promotor del Turismo. El año 2015 Chile había ganado por primera vez la categoría entre sus pares de América del Sur.
Chile gana premio “Mejor Destino de Turismo Aventura del Mundo” en los World Travel Awards. Así lo dio a conocer el Ministro de Economía, Fomento y Turismo, Jorge Rodríguez Grossi, junto a la Subsecretaria de Turismo, Javiera Montes, y la Directora Nacional de Sernatur, Marcela Cabezas, luego de que en la 24ª versión de los World Travel Awards, los “premios Oscar” del turismo, nuestro territorio fuera reconocido como líder en esta categoría.
La elección del ganador se realizó a través de votación directa en el sitio de los World Travel Awards, donde nuestro país se impuso ante países como Australia, Canadá, Ecuador, Japón, Nueva Zelanda, Sri Lanka, Tailandia y Estados Unidos.
A través de este reconocimiento, Chile consolida el trabajo de promoción internacional que se ha realizado, lo que se refleja en el doble de turistas extranjeros que nos visitan en los últimos seis años, pasando de 2,8 millones en 2010 a 5,6 millones en 2016; presentando un crecimiento promedio anual de 12,8%. Las principales actividades realizadas por los turistas que visitan el territorio son las visitas a Áreas Protegidas y actividades de tierra y agua. Durante el 2016 las Áreas Protegidas recibieron un total de 3.068.184 visitantes, de éstos un 26% corresponde a visitantes extranjeros mientras que el 74% restante son turistas nacionales. Cabe destacar a su vez que en los últimos 5 años, las visitas a Parques Nacionales aumentaron con un promedio anual de 11,3%. En este último período de cinco años, los turistas chilenos aumentaron sus visitas en un 11,5% promedio anual y los visitantes extranjeros en un 10,7% anual.
A continuación compartimos el listado de ganadores a nivel mundial según las categorías establecidas por World Travel Awarrds. Entre ellos destaca dentro de América del Sur Perú como mejor destino culinario del 2017 y Bolivia como mejor destino cultural.
