The late Derek Moore has been inducted into the Latin American Travel Association’s (Lata) Hall of Fame.

Derek Moore passed away earlier this year

The former Aito chair and touring pioneer was inducted during the association’s first parliamentary reception at the House of Commons since March 2020 earlier this week.

Moore, who passed away on 30 January, worked as an overland tour guide before co-founding Explore Worldwide in 1981.

Hosted by MP Mark Menzies, chair of the All-Party-Parliamentary-Group for Latin America, and Lata chair Colin Stewart, the ceremony brought together MPs, Latin American ambassadors, diplomats, Lata members, media and the wider UK travel industry.
