The director and co-founder of Latin Routes and Polar Routes and chair of Expedition Cruise Network will succeed Colin Stewart as he steps down after six years as chairman.
The closing ceremony of LATA Expo saw Martin Johnson confirmed as the new chairman of the Latin American Travel Association (LATA), with former chairman Colin Stewart stepping down.
Martin has been vice-chair of LATA since 2012, is co-founder and director of Latin Routes and Polar Routes, and chairs the recently-formed Expedition Cruise Network.
In celebration of his appointment, Martin said: "When I set up Latin Routes, with my business partner in 2012 and later that year attended my first LATA event, I could only have dreamt of one day being able to call myself chair of such a fantastic organisation.
"While the pandemic is thankfully now a memory, its effects are still being felt across the LATA membership. I am committed to ensuring that, through a combination of growing the membership and creating opportunities for revenue generation, LATA will continue to secure a successful future."
