FIATA Foundation
Just before the 2001 World Congress in CancÃÆ'ºn, Quintana Roo, Mexico, and on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of FIATA, the FIATA presidency decided to mark this special occasion with the creation of the FIATA Foundation Vocational Training, an institution aimed at assisting associations in countries less able to build and improve professional skills in the industry.
The Foundation Management Committee coordinates fundraising activities, evaluates applications for funds and assists associations in the implementation of Training projects.
