Welcome to the IAATO Press Office
We aim to create engaging, educationally enriching communications with which to share and explain the work of IAATO, advocate and promote safe and environmentally responsible travel to the Antarctic and create a corps of ambassadors for the region.
The IAATO Communications Team manages all media relations for the organization, from creating and issuing press releases and developing blog content to sharing updates about robust new operational guidelines, the latest visitor figures, research and citizen science initiatives.
We facilitate interviews with members of IAATO, give background briefings on issues relating to responsible tourism operations in Antarctica, and support media organizations with digital media requests.
