WHO CAN BECOME A MEMBER?

Any natural person or company interested in promoting tourism to Latin America.

 

WHAT FORMS OF MEMBERSHIP EXIST?

"Regular Membership" and "Associated Membership". The "Associate Membership" is primarily intended for Latin American companies and organizations without any representation in Germany. It relieves the member of the obligation to participate in general meetings and does not grant them the right to vote.

 

WHAT DOES A MEMBERSHIP COST?

The membership fee combines the membership fee and the support fee, which are used to achieve the objectives of the association. The amount of the membership fee is decided by the executive board and the members during the annual general meeting. The following fees will apply:
Ordinary members: Membership fee EUR 1.430,-.
Associate members: Membership fee EUR 1.110,-
If the accession takes place during the year, the membership fee is payable in full and the promotion fee on a pro rata basis. Every member has the opportunity to participate in the activities of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lateinamerika at low cost or free of charge. On the other hand, the association welcomes active help and willingness to cooperate in their various activities: f.e. members who have been active in Latin American tourism for many years act as speakers at workshops or seminars from time to time.
