(SEATTLE) March 5, 2017 - The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) and the Brazilian Tour Operators Association (BRAZTOA) renewed their partnership on Wednesday, 5 March 2017, during the 47th BRAZTOA trade meeting held at World Travel Market Latin America in São Paulo, Brazil.
The organizations have committed to continuing to work together, offering assorted benefits for affiliated associations, including a discounted ATTA membership fee for BRAZTOA members and an opportunity to apply to be hosted buyers at key ATTA-hosted adventure travel industry events.
Both the ATTA and BRAZTOA benefit from the partnership. The main goal for the partnership is to leverage sales and visibility.
