Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Peru that receives over 1 million visitors per year, making it Peru's most visited tourist attraction. While tourism provides major revenue, the growing number of visitors poses a physical burden on the ruins. In the late 1990s, the Peruvian government approved plans to build infrastructure like a cable car and luxury hotel to encourage more tourism. However, these plans were protested by those concerned they would further damage the site. UNESCO has considered listing Machu Picchu as a World Heritage Site in Danger due to threats from overtourism.

1. Machu Picchu is both a cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since its
discovery in 1911, growing numbers of tourists have visited the site each year, including
1,411,279 in 2017. As Peru's most visited tourist attraction and major revenue generator,
it is continually exposed to economic and commercial forces. In the late 1990s, the
Peruvian government granted concessions to allow the construction of a cable car and a
luxury hotel, including a tourist complex with boutiques and restaurants and a bridge to
the site.
Many people protested the plans, including Peruvians and foreign scientists, saying that
more visitors would pose a physical burden on the ruins. In 2018, plans were restarted
to again construct a cable car to encourage Peruvians to visit Machu Picchu and boost
domestic tourism.[66] A no-fly zone exists above the area. UNESCO is considering
putting Machu Picchu on its List of World Heritage in Danger.
