IAATO has set the global precedent of best practice self-regulation in Antarctica. Our agreed best practices demonstrate that first-hand, environmentally responsible tourism is possible in remote & fragile wilderness areas. ©️ Dani Abras #iaato30 #responsibletourism

Our annual meeting, & other focused gatherings, help us evolve our practices to protect Antarctica while enabling responsible visitors to have an enriching, educational experience while having only a minor or transitory impact on this precious region #weareiaato ©️ VM Rocchi

Antarctica is the most hostile place on Earth. Bad weather can often scupper already flexible itineraries, so expeditions should be approached with an open mind. Whether it’s a glorious day like this – or the opposite – it’s a genuine #Antarctic experience #weareiaato

Did you know…? If you are planning a trip to Antarctica, you can familiarize yourself with the guidance documents provided on our website and in our Visitor Guidelines library https://t.co/h6thDvmdQO

The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the #AntarcticTreaty designates #Antarctica as a natural reserve dedicated to peace & science. We adhere to this principle & actively work to advocate & support science & research on the continent. #weareiaato #iaato30

Part of our work involves supporting scientific research and forming successful collaborations that will help IAATO and policy-makers make better decisions about Antarctica’s ongoing protection and long-term future.
