ATMEX (Adventure Travel México) is the business and strategic relations event dedicated to the regeneration, strengthening and growth of the most important Adventure and Nature Tourism industry in Latin America.

The objective of ATMEX is the generation of strategic alliances between buyers, suppliers and specialized media, as well as the professionalization of the industry through an academic program dedicated to sharing standards, latest trends, success stories and the best practices of the venture tourism industry in Mexico and the world

ATMEX (Adventure Travel México) was born in México in 2012 as an effort to address the need to continue strengthening the Mexican Adventure and Nature Travel industry, after the country hosted the Adventure Travel World Summit 2011 at San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas.

ATMEX was born under the leadership of Antonio del Rosal (who at that time acted as the Executive Director for Latin America for the Adventure Travel Trade Association, ATTA, and who, also since 2008 has been General Director for “Experiencias Genuinas”) with the valuable collaboration of the Adventure Travel Trade Association, ATTA, the México Tourism Board (CPTM) and the Tourism Ministry (SECTUR.).  Since 2015, the Adventure Travel Trade Association stopped having any relationship or involvement with ATMEX, becoming a 100% Mexican event.

ATMEX (Adventure Travel Mexico) is possible thanks to the collaboration between the host destination (Mexican states, cities or municipalities), the organizing company and owner of the ATMEX brand: ATMEX – Adventure Travel Mexico (Experiencias Genuinas) and official authorities from the tourism sector (SECTUR, CPTM, etc.).
