LATA Membership

LATA membership is open to companies in the UK, Europe and Latin America with an interest in selling and promoting travel to Latin America.
 

HOW DOES A LATA MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS?

LATA aims to provide a platform for its members to promote themselves and to communicate with fellow members and the media with a view to growing travel to the region.

LATA holds industry leading networking events, seminars and workshops throughout the year. These events offer members the opportunities to keep up to date with the very latest industry products, news and business practices.

Through a LATA membership, you have access to our specialist industry partners ranging from safety and travel risk experts to security and sustainability consultants. We also have a dedicated LATA WhatsApp community with separate groups for sustainability and PR discussions.
