About IAATO
The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) is a member-led organisation founded in 1991 to advocate for and promote the practice of safe and environmentally responsible private-sector travel to the Antarctic.
IAATO members collaborate to develop, adopt and implement operational standards that mitigate potential environmental impacts. These include but are not limited to: site specific guidelines, site selection criteria, passenger to staff ratios, limiting numbers of passengers ashore, boot washing guidelines and the prevention of the transmission of alien organisms, wilderness etiquette, garbage policy, ship scheduling and vessel communication procedures, emergency medical evacuation procedures, emergency contingency plans, reporting procedures, marine wildlife watching guidelines and more.
These operational standards have proven effective in preserving Antarctica’s delicate ecosystem while allowing for meaningful visitor experiences.
