Miami – December 11, 2008 – ALTA, the Latin America and Caribbean Air Transport Association, commends Colombian authorities for their initiative and vision in its recent decision to eliminate Visa requirements for 87 countries.
“This action proves the value the Colombian authorities assign to international trade and tourism,” said ALTA Executive Director Alex de Gunten.  “We hope that other nations in the region will follow this lead by Colombia.”

Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently announced that the government has approved a resolution to eliminate visa requirements for citizens from 87 countries worldwide for temporary visits, including business or technical reasons.
