To promoting responsible business practices in the tourism industry as well as sustainable development, conservation and poverty relief in Latin America.

Established in 2008 the Foundation works with individuals, organisations and businesses with an interest or passion for Latin America to help support grass-root projects that have genuine benefit on communities throughout the region. Thanks to the support of members, the LATA Foundation has already begun to make a difference. Over 20,000 trees were planted in Peru in January 2009 and we are helping to fund a cottage industry in Guatemala to produce natural cosmetics. We have begun a waste-management and recycling project in Brazil and are supporting the work of Children of the Andes in Colombia. Throughout summer 2009 we raised funds for a new clinic to provide free dental care to disadvantaged children in Buenos Aires.
