Cusco, Peru -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2011 -- Tour operator Escaped To Peru will be attending the New York Times Travel Show in February 2011, Managing Director Gary Sargent confirmed today.

The decision to exhibit follows Escaped To Peru’s rapid sales growth, which last year reached 100%, despite a downturn for many competitors in a troubled economic climate.

“Our growth in business has allowed us to open up new routes, which has given us a comprehensive coverage of Peru with our custom tours,” Mr. Sargent explained. “We are able to offer a great range of options to anyone interested in a custom-designed vacation to Peru, as well as many other countries in Latin America.”

He continued, “We have secured a great location at the show in the Central and South America area, stand 547. I will be there in person offering my expertise and enthusiasm, as well as travel-related gifts and plenty of tour information. As we are the only operator covering Peru, I am optimistic that the show will be an excellent source of new business.”

“As many consider the New York Times Travel Show to be the most important consumer and trade show of the year, I am excited to have the opportunity to exhibit,” Mr. Sargent added.

To celebrate Escaped To Peru’s attendance, visitors can enjoy a 5% discount on all tours booked at the show.

The New York Times Travel Show will take place in the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Centre, New York City between 25th and 27th February. Children under 18 are admitted free. Visitors can explore over 500 destinations across the globe, attend travel seminars with experts such as Adam Richman and attend live cultural performances and culinary presentations.
