About APEC CEO SUMMIT - Peru 2008
Incepted in 1996 as an opportunity
for CEOs to participate in the APEC Leaders' meeting, the Summit

events of the region. It provides opportunities for business
leaders in the Asia Pacific region to hear presentations from and
to engage in discussions with APEC economic leaders, policy
makers, academia and other CEOs on the most critical economic and
business issues facing the region.
In 2008, the APEC CEO
Summit will be held in the capital of one of the fastest growing
economies in the Americas, Lima, Peru, from the 20th to the 23rd
of November with a programme that is specially relevant to today's
decision makers for the development of APEC.
Traveling to Peru
Peru is blessed with a
rich and ancient past and a vibrant present, making it one of
South America's most popular travel destinations. Thousands of
archaeological sites are found all over the country, ranging from
10,000 year old camp sites of early hunters to the monumental
stone walls of sixteenth century Inca Cusco. Indeed, it is
difficult to go anywhere in Peru without stumbling upon some
ancient reminder of Peru's past. By 2000 B.C. ancient Peruvians
were building monumental temples and irrigation systems and had
domesticated the llama and a variety of food crops, many of which
like the potato are very important in today's world. Although the
Incas are by far Peru's best known culture, it is civilizations
preceding them which set the foundations for the rising of the
Inca Empire. Peru's museums are filled with amazing ceramics and
textiles designed and created by the pre-Inca civilizations, such
as Chavin, Paracas, Nazca, Moche and Wari.
