The tourism sector represents 3.9% of Peru’s GNI and provides employment to approximately 10% of its population. Between 2015 – 2019 (a pre-Covid-19 scenario), Peru became the second biggest host community for displaced Venezuelans, and 4 out 5 chose the capital, Lima, as their destination. In parallel, inbound tourism had reached a peak moment in 2019, with approximately 4.5 million tourists that year – the highest Peru has ever seen. This paper is a qualitative study on the integration of Venezuelan migrants working formal jobs in the tourism sector in Lima, Peru, specifically in travel agencies. Through data triangulation obtained from in-depth interviews to migration experts, Venezuelan migrants, and formal tourism employers, this paper captures the reasons why Venezuelans migrate to Peru, the roles they are covering in the tourism sector, how they access these job opportunities and how this influences their integration process into the host community. It also finds examples of common best practice in formal tourism businesses employing migrant workers. More crucially, it sheds light on the contributions of Venezuelan migrants in the tourism sector and how there is an opportunity to benefit from their input in a post-Covid-19 recovery of the tourism sector. This paper also provides policy recommendations for consideration by the government and corporate sectors.
