ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the international trade of peccaries, performing a case study for Peru, since it is the major exporter country. The United Nations World Tourism Organization approved the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on December 21, 2001, A/RES/56/212: Global Code of Ethics for Tourism. Tourism resources belong to the common heritage of mankind. In this regard, tourism is an economic activity to improve income possibilities to local communities. Tourism should be associated with equitably sharing the economic, social and cultural benefits it generates, and particularly in the creation of direct and indirect jobs resulting from tourism. Tourism professionals should provide tourists with objective and honest information on their businesses, destination, and conditions of travel and hospitality. Ethics, as a moral philosophy, seeks to resolve questions of human morality, related to right and wrong conduct. The tourists have the perception that wildlife meat consumption at restaurants has a negative influence on wildlife and Amazonian conservation.
