TravelMart LatinAmerica 2026
Location: Lima, Peru.
Dates taking place: 17th - 19th September 2026
TravelMart LatinAmerica (TMLA) will happen in 2026 as it continues to serve as the leading business development event for Latin American tourism. TMLA has been an integral part of the Latin American tourism industry since 1978. The event serves strictly professional purposes which makes the gathering very beneficial as several representatives from different branches of the tourism industry come together in a very engaging and personal way.
Aims of TravelMart LatinAmerica 2026
The main aim of TMLA is to build networks between Central and South American suppliers and foreign buyers. These buyers, who are mostly tour operators and agencies, are specially invited to interact with suppliers which include representatives from hotels, airlines, tourism boards and others. TMLA has earned a reputation for its effective networking and professionalism, which means participants benefit greatly.
A Business-Focused Event
With TMLA, participants can conduct two full days of business meetings due to the unique pre-scheduled appointment system. This system guarantees that buyers and suppliers meet only with the people who they are most interested in partnering with, ensuring maximum efficiency. The meetings are scheduled weeks in advance so that participants know exactly who they will be meeting with and can come prepared after conducting the necessary background work. This is very beneficial, as TMLA participants are able to achieve a lot within the time available, which is one of the reasons why TMLA is considered to be one of the most significant events in Latin American tourism.
Apart from the structured meetings, TMLA has a variety of social functions such as receptions, working lunches, and others which serve as networking opportunities. These less formal functions give participants the opportunity to engage with one another while outdoors, thus enabling them to work out partnership agreements without the pressure of the formal meetings.
Prospects for Buyers and Suppliers
The suppliers at TMLA include boutique hotels, regional airlines, and even national tourism boards. They have the opportunity to market their products and services to international buyers looking to expand their business in Latin America. As for the buyers, they focus on sourcing new products, services, and travel destinations, which can help broaden their portfolio. The combination of these groups is what brings great value to TMLA and its participants.
Most attendees highlight the importance of the event’s structure in helping them maximize their time and ROI: return on investment. To streamline attendance, TMLA limits participants to only a small group of decision-makers. All meetings are scheduled so that every person involved has a productive outcome.
