Peru audit finds 8 firms used bots to hoard 210k Machu Picchu tickets

An audit of Peru's Tu Boleto ticketing system found eight tourism companies used bots to block nearly 210,000 tickets to Machu Picchu, exacerbating scarcity. The government will require payment within 15 minutes of ticket selection to deter hoarding. This is a first confirmed enforcement action against ticket scalping at the site, though the impact on visitor access remains uncertain.
