Rural populations that are located in the surrounding areas to the Inca Trail will benefit from development projects that will run the Ministry of culture, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the financial contribution of the Italian cooperation programme.

These entities will boost the project "Development of local capacities for the promotion of community-based cultural tourism integrating Qhapaq Ñan in Bolivia, Perú and Ecuador," which includes the three involved countries.
