ESNNA Code of Conduct

Against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents

Under Law No. 28251, Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) established the policy against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents (ESNNA, by its Spanish acronym). Within this framework, Cusco Connections Travel has adhered to the ESNNA Code of Conduct to take joint action to prevent and eradicate this problem. Therefore, we declare that:

• We reject the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in Peru and around the world, in general and particularly in its form associated with travel and tourism, as it violates people’s fundamental rights and runs contrary to the very purpose of tourism in our country.
• We denounce and condemn those who use tourism, and the facilities and services it offers, to promote, facilitate or tolerate the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.

For these reasons, Cusco Connections Travel subscribes to this Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in the tourism sector.

This Code is a formal, voluntary declaration that sets out the standards of conduct for everyone who works at Cusco Connections Travel, aimed at protecting children and adolescents from all forms of sexual exploitation and human trafficking associated with travel and tourism.

Likewise, in order to take the necessary measures to protect children and adolescents against sexual exploitation, all members of our company commit to:

• Maintaining an ethical policy that rejects the commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in the context of travel and tourism.
• Informing and training our staff on the company’s policy regarding the prevention of the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in travel and tourism.
• Displaying visible symbols that inform clients and suppliers of our position on the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in travel and tourism.
• Including a clause in our contracts with tourism service providers that states our shared rejection of the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.
