The LATA Hall of Fame was introduced to honour members of LATA and the wider Latin American travel community who have made a significant contribution to the growth, progress and success of the Latin American Travel Association and/or Latin American travel industry. 

 

The Hall of Fame is awarded annually during the LATA Parliamentary Reception, taking place in 2026 on the 10th March.

We would like to ask you, our members, to nominate worthy candidates, who will then be reviewed by the LATA Committee.

Induction into the LATA Hall of Fame is an individual award in recognition of a person’s outstanding contribution to the Latin American Travel Association and/or Industry. Your nomination of this person should be based on one or more of the following criteria:

 

Impact on the Community or the Tourism Industry

The nominated individual must have generated a positive, significant, and measurable impact on the tourism industry either at a global level or within their specific destination. This may include contributions that have enriched the traveller experience, promoted sustainable practices, strengthened destinations, developed innovative tourism products, improved service standards, or influenced international policies and trends.

Selfless Contribution to the Common Good of the Tourism Industry

The nominated individual must have made significant contributions to the tourism industry that were not necessarily driven by personal interest, but rather oriented toward the common good. This includes actions that strengthen the sector collectively, promote collaboration, raise shared standards, or benefit communities, colleagues, and future tourism professionals without seeking direct individual gain.

Professional Trajectory and Achievements

The individual must demonstrate a solid career characterised by excellence, innovation, and outstanding accomplishments. Consideration is given to years of experience, key milestones achieved, awards or recognitions received, and any exceptional contributions that have made a meaningful difference in their professional field.
