🌎 Travel infrastructure, from ports of entry to efficient visa processes, is a vital component to ensure the growth of the Travel & Tourism sector.

From Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima's obstacles to effective infrastructure to capacity issues in Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport 🛃 With travellers increasingly valuing convenience and simplicity in their journey, implementing an easy visa system is vital for the region.

Travel Agents, both brick-and-mortar and online, play a central role acting as stepping stones between travellers and Travel & Tourism service providers. 🏞 They are well-placed to help the Travel & Tourism industry achieve its sustainability goals as they interact with a wide variety of industry players, from suppliers to destinations, and strongly influence consumer choices. However collecting emissions data is challenging for OTAs and TAs, as they deal with a large number of small local value chain partners, such as property rental managers and local tour operators.
