Abstract
Introduction: Peruvian food is diverse and has established itself as a fundamental part of the country's tourist offer, but
we have not found in the literature the concentration of restaurants in Peruvian territories. Aim and Objectives: The
objective was: a) to know the territories where the catering and hotel companies are located and b) to know the size of
these companies. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study. We use the
International Standard Industrial Classification version 3.0 and the database of the Peruvian Ministry of Production
regarding the classification of companies from January-December 2015. Results: In 2015, the Ministry of Production of
Peru registered 3700 restaurants and 545 hotels. 3054 (82%) restaurants were located in Lima, 74 (2.0%) in Callao, 61
(1.6%) in Lambayeque, 49 (1.3%) in Cusco and Ancash. 363 (66.6%) hotels were located in Lima, 16 (1.3%) in
Apurímac, 15 (2.8%) in Junín, 14 (2.6%) in Cusco and La Libertad. Due to the size of the company, we found 3671 (%)
and 542 (99.45%) microenterprises corresponding to restaurants and hotels. Conclusions: It is necessary to promote and
improve the registration of business economic units dedicated to gastronomy and hotels, as well as to continue promoting
the formalization and improvement of the quality of service of companies within the country.
