As a result, it attracts lots of attention from eco-tourists who want to study its unique wildlife and explore its various regions.

This is because even though Peru signed a trade agreement with the European Union in 2012, once Britain leaves the EU single market, the trade barriers with Britain that have eased since then would go back up, which could potentially increase the demand for cheap parcel delivery to Peru.
