Expensive ATTA Group,
I’m writing to precise our deep dismay relating to the latest actions of the US Authorities, notably the approaching dismantling of support packages. We object to this “America First” philosophy and wish to make our place clear: the ATTA is HUMANITY first.
These actions have straight impacted our group, as we had a number of tourism tasks with USAID assist all over the world lined up for 2025. These tasks would have elevated financial safety, supported indigenous and native individuals and enhanced cross-cultural relationships by the nice work that the ATTA workforce and group do collectively. Sadly, attributable to this drastic motion, it would now be inconceivable for us to hold out our work in some places, until new funding is discovered. We are also conscious and really involved how it’s impacting lots of our companions and members straight and not directly.
We are able to admire, based mostly on the shared values of our ATTA group, that we’re all troubled by these latest developments past our management. What we’re doing and can proceed to do is voice our considerations to as many political leaders as we are able to attain, and switch our collective motion and networks into discovering new methods to make sure constructive and impactful journey tourism growth continues.
We urge you to work with us as we search to counter these forces with good work, love, and willpower. Collectively, as a worldwide group we are able to create a extra simply and equitable world for all.
Sincerely,
Shannon Stowell
And on behalf of the ATTA Group and Board
