WHY IT RATES:Latin Trails has been nominated for South America's Leading Tour Operator and South America's Leading Boutique Cruise - Eric Bowman, TravelPulse Senior Editor


Latin Trails is thrilled to announce its nominations for the World Travel Award 2017. This Ecuadorian DMC with more than 20 years of experience is nominated in two categories at the WTA for the 2017 edition.

The first category that Latin Trails is participating is on the South Americas Leading Tour Operator. The second category is on the South America's Leading Boutique Cruise with its flagship yacht the Galapagos Sea Star Journey.

The industry being awarded by the WTA is getting the recognition as the best in its category either worldwide or regionally.

Ecuador in the last three editions of the WTA has won very important categories. For instance, in 2016 the country and its industry received 9 awards.

Some of the categories that Ecuador is running for being the South America´s Leading Destination are the beach destination with the Galapagos Islands, Cultural and Culinary destination, Green and Meeting & Conference destination. There are also some categories that the best tourism and travel companies are competing, such as the Tren Crucero in the category of South America´s Leading Luxury Train.
