Australia to host first ever Latin America Travel Week

Growing demand in Australia for holidays to South and Central America has paved the way for the first ever Latin America Travel Week in Sydney and Melbourne.

Organised by the Australian Travel Association for Latin America (ATALA), the week will run from May 15-22, 2016, and feature free consumer expos, B2B networking sessions and travel agent workshops.

Also on offer is a chance to win one of two luxury US$12,000 holiday to Peru or Chile.

ATALA Chairman, Ted Dziadkiewicz, said the inaugural Latin America Travel Week was aimed at increasing awareness of Latin America as a travel destination.

“More Australians are looking at South and Central America as holiday destinations with a sizeable increase in airline capacity in recent years, the Rio Olympics and more packaged tours and marketing all helping to fuel travel to Latin America,” Dziadkiewicz said.

“Direct flights from Sydney to Santiago only take 12.5 hours and cost around $1800 return while flights to LA take almost 14 hours. Flights from Melbourne to Santiago are also available via Auckland or Sydney.”

Held less than three months before the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this August, the travel agent workshops aim to address misconceptions about Latin America and update agents on products in the region.

Travel agents interested in attending the Latin America agent workshops in Sydney and Melbourne can register their interest at www.atala.com.au or by emailing info@atala.com.au.
