We are honoured to present the “Plan Wallata”. A five-year 2016-2021 Tourism Development Plan for the Town and District of Ollantaytambo, to ensure the sustainability of Ollantaytambo as a “Living Inca Town” destination, based on a territorial approach and a diverse product offering, achieved with the shared responsibility of all actors involved, to contribute to the sustainable, economic and social development of our community, as well as to promote the preservation and
conservation of our cultural and natural heritage.

The “Plan Wallata” seeks to make tourism the mainstay of inclusive development, sustainable prosperity and a strengthening of identity and self-esteem for the Ollantaytambo Community, and to serve as a model for other communities in Peru and the world. We invite you to read the attached plan and to join in the effort to achieve it.
