The situation in south-central Chile is dire after the massive 8.8 earthquake that hit near the city of Concepcion on February 27th. Since then there have been several other smaller-scale earthquakes, as well significant damages have been caused by tsunamis in costal towns.
LATA Foundation is coordinating a response to the devastation in Chile on behalf of the members of the Latin America Travel Association in conjunction with the Chilean Embassy in London. The LATA Foundation is a registered charity which works closely with embassies, airlines, tour operators, travel agents, local travel specialists, tourists and travelers, as well as many other businesses and organizations involved in Latin America.
