Tara Tours Has Bullish Outlook for Central, South America

This year will be a good one for selling Central and South American destinations, according to Daniel Taramona, owner and president of Miami-based Tara Tours. Taramona credited increased media attention on these regions for the growing demand.

Founded in 1980, Tara Tours serves about 7,000 travel agencies and runs many fam trips to educate agents about Latin America, which Taramona said has become a growth region thanks to the current political and economic climate.

Taramona said there was still plenty of potential in Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and lesser-known regions of Brazil. Chile and Peru need infrastructure development but have “tremendous potential,” he said.
