On December 3rd 1982, representatives of 22 companies, including airlines with direct<br />
routes from Germany to South America, tour operators, hotel chains and Embratur<br />
Brazil, back than the only South American Tourist Board represented in Germany, met<br />
up for the constituent assembly of the association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Südamerika.<br />
One of the outstanding tasks of the new association was the drafting of a 40 page study<br />
outlining required measures, ranging from market research activities, the establishment<br />
of an information office, press and PR work to training courses for travel agency staff<br />
and participation in trade fairs.<br />
Dispappointment and a setback: when the study was presented at the COTAL conference<br />
in Buenos Aires, the South American Partners failed to demonstrate the expected<br />
interest and will to cooperate.<br />
Founding of the association in Frankfurt am Main. The first Chairman was the then head<br />
of VARIG in Germany, Hans-Jürgen Thien.<br />
„We are aware of the many problems in these countries and that is precisely why we see<br />
it as our particular task to improve their public image in Germany and stir up interest for<br />
countries whose economy is primarily dependent on tourism.“ That was how Hans-Jürgen<br />
Thien, the first Chairman, summed up the objectives of the association once its<br />
scope had finally been broadened in 1990 to include Latin America countries.<br />
<strong>ARGE</strong> <strong>Lateinamerika</strong> e.V. opens its first official business/press office.<br />
<strong>ARGE</strong> presents itself and its members for the first time to an interested public at a tourism<br />
fair (CMT, Stuttgart).<br />
A new logo is born.<br />
The statutes of <strong>ARGE</strong> are amended by the General Meeting: from now on, it is also possible<br />
for members to join who are not based in Germany.<br />
The first <strong>ARGE</strong> website is created and the first issue of the <strong>ARGE</strong> magazine is published<br />
–back then with the title „Immer wieder Neue Welt...“<br />
ArgeLA celebrates it’s 30th anniversary and can now boast 80 members.<br />
ArgeLA launched the first E-learning course in German language covering the whole of<br />
Latin America for training travel agency employees.<br />
At the CMT in Stuttgart, ArgeLA presents the Pueblo Latino – a Latin American discovery<br />
area covering more than 300 qm.<br />
ArgeLA is present at the most important trade fairs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland<br />
(Ferienmesse Wien, CMT Stuttgart, Fespo Zürich, Reisen Hamburg and f.re.e).<br />
Relaunch of the e-learning platform with various modules on the<br />
countries of Latin America.<br />
For the first time, the magazine “América Latina” is produced in-house.<br />

AWARD-WINNING<br />
TRAINING QUALITY<br />
<strong>ARGE</strong> <strong>Lateinamerika</strong> has twice won<br />
awards for its training activities from<br />
the Willy Scharnow Tourism Foundation.<br />
In 1991 and again in 2007, the<br />

ongoing training of tourism professionals<br />
in Germany.<br />
As a supplement to the German curricula,<br />
<strong>ARGE</strong> <strong>Lateinamerika</strong> offers<br />
full-day seminars on Latin America<br />
to vocational and technical schools.<br />
„We were together in Latin America“<br />
is the goal for an intensive learning<br />
day for the students. With modern<br />
presentation technology, practical<br />
exercises and intensive group work,<br />
around 200 students are sensitised<br />
to the destination of Latin America<br />
every year.<br />
The seminar stands out from the daily<br />
school routine and lingers in the memory<br />
of pupils and students to the<br />
benefit of tourism to Latin America.<br />
As well as general information about<br />
the destination, the focus in the vocational<br />
and technical colleges is<br />
also on the products of the ArgeLA<br />
members.<br />

TRADE SHOWS<br />

visitors.<br />
BRINGING LATIN AMERICA TO LIFE IN CENTRAL EUROPE<br />
The Pueblo Latino – a bustling meeting<br />
place for the whole of Latin America<br />
– found its way into exhibition<br />
centres from 2013 to 2015 for the<br />
duration of well attended consumer<br />
fairs.<br />
With the Pueblo Latino, <strong>ARGE</strong> <strong>Lateinamerika</strong><br />
e.V. had created an unrivalled<br />
discovery area. In the centrally situated<br />
Plaza, travel experts from <strong>ARGE</strong><br />
<strong>Lateinamerika</strong> impressed visitors with<br />
breathtaking pictures and first-hand<br />
information about the destinations of<br />
Latin America. Over the way, ethnic<br />
handicrafts and pre-Columbian jewellery<br />
cast their spell on visitors. The<br />
men among them are won over by<br />
first-class Colombian cigars. Ethnic<br />
handicrafts, pre-Columbian jewelry<br />
and first-class cigars, as well as coffee<br />
from Colombia, empanadas and<br />
wines from Chile and Argentina conveyed<br />
the attitude towards life and the<br />
emotions of Latin America, accompanied<br />
by typical dance performances.<br />
As a crowd puller, the Pueblo Latino<br />
offered ArgeLA members direct contact<br />
with potential travelers in a lively<br />
and authentic environment<br />
