    The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) advocates and promotes the practice of safe, environmentally responsible private-sector travel to the Antarctic. This paper provides an overview of Antarctic tourism trends and a summary of 2018-2019 IAATO activities it believes are most relevant to CCAMLR. IAATO is firmly committed to supporting the work of the Antarctic Treaty System by openly exchanging pertinent information with other Antarctic stakeholders.
