The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) has launched a new website with more information for prospective travelers to Antarctica.

“The familiar URL www.iaato.org  remains the same, but the similarity stops there,” said IAATO Executive Director Steve Wellmeier.

“The new site provides much better graphics and navigation tools, including a search function and site map. One of our goals is to provide accurate information for the Antarctic traveler, particularly in the area of environmental stewardship, guidelines for visitors, and answers to the many questions they might have.”

The redesigned home page has links to IAATO news, frequently asked questions, history of IAATO and featured topical discussions and information, such as non-native species and climate change, along with other science-support initiatives.

New “Who is IAATO?” and “What is IAATO?” pages provide a membership directory of all IAATO members and operators, a listing of IAATO-member vessels, biographies of the IAATO executive committee and secretariat, and a brief history of the association, its objectives and bylaws.

An extensive “Guidelines & Resources” section features visitor guidelines, a PowerPoint briefing for visitors, wildlife-watching guidelines, links to other Antarctica-related organizations and tourism statistics.

The new Media Center links to current and archival IAATO press releases, the association’s Antarctic Ambassador Chronicle e-newsletter for media, and recent press articles on Antarctic tourism issues. For more information, visit www.iaato.org
