In 2025, the LATA Foundation proudly continues to support inspiring, community-led projects across Latin America. Each year, we carefully select grassroots initiatives that use tourism as a force for good – empowering local communities and driving long-term, sustainable impact.
This year, our support spans four countries: Peru, Colombia, Belize, and Panama. By rotating our focus annually, we’re able to uplift a diverse range of destinations throughout the region. All of our projects are led by local NGOs deeply rooted in their communities. Our goal is to strengthen their capacity, enabling them to grow their impact and build a more sustainable future through responsible tourism.
