TESTIMONIALS

Read why people love the Fest!

I'm so glad I attended the Latino Travel Fest. I loved being able to be around others who I instantly connected with and who were also traveling the world. I learned a lot! I loved the workshops. It was a quick and easy way to get in a ton of information. I had so much fun! I literally left this travel fest on a high. It was so well thought out and put together, brought so many great people together, had bomb food and music, the aesthetic - it was a blast!
Marissa R.

As a Latino content creator, it’s not so often you come across a community where everyone all seems to share the same common interest: travel. Being a part of the Latino World Travelers community and seeing everyone’s travel stories keeps me inspired to continue to do the same. I’m beyond grateful to have come across such a supportive community, and the Latino Travel Fest 2023 was a testament to all this. I look forward to continuing to make those lifelong friendships and connections.
Miguel F.

At the Latino Travel Fest, I was impressed by the diversity of the attendees, not just in terms of their backgrounds, but also in their travel styles and preferences. From volunteer to luxury travelers, everyone was welcomed and celebrated. The sense of community and support that was palpable throughout the event was priceless. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that left me feeling inspired and empowered to continue exploring the world.
Ana C.

The Latino Travel Fest is not your ordinary conference. I wish every conference can level up to provide the experience of the Latino Travel Fest. It provided a warm, engaging atmosphere but more importantly it brought representation and community. It also gave back by having college students who I had the pleasure to invite - investing into the next generation of Latino travelers. No where else have I seen this! The workshops were informative and from experts in their field.
Princess F.

What I enjoyed the most were definitely all the panels. They were super informative and the speakers seemed so happy to share their knowledge with us and encouraging us to reach out and connect with them. It was a wonderful experience and great platform to network with Latinos blazing in the travel industry.
Radaisy R.

Attending Latino Travel Fest was hands-down the best time invested as there was robust content, time for connecting with other latino fellow travelers and the speakers were so motivating! The seminars are so in depth and the stories were so valuable to me. I was so motivated and I connected with fellow travelers across the globe right then and there.
Cindy R.

I really appreciated the different aspects of this conference. I literally signed up Saturday morning and was really impressed how everything was so organized, emailed, and put together. The panels were diverse, represented and very educational. It makes my heart so happy to know there are SO many amazing Latinos doing BIG things in the travel industry. I hope to make these connections and that we grow even more! Thank you for putting this dream into a reality!
