What our members say
The Future of Tourism is Hybrid
The Metaverse Tourism Association strives to provide accessibility to all. Through education and training, tourism professionals can capitalise on the vast opportunities of the metaverse to provide a wholesome tourist offering across a range of markets that are currently underserved.
MTA provides a platform for education where individual members and companies are encouraged to share knowledge, collaborate, establish standards and network.
Our purpose to be a leading voice for the virtual tourism industry where the leaders of the Metaverse and the travel industry work together to support a bright future of tourism.
The tourism industry is one of the strongest industries in the world. With continued growth comes an increasingly complex relationship with the environment. The Metaverse is a nascent industry growing at speed. Combining these two innovative industries to navigate the opportunities for a sustainable future for all travel operators is key.
MTA aims to provide key information, smart advocacy and collaboration opportunities with all departments working towards common vision and goals. The MTA advocates for robust protection, standards and policy decisions in relation to all virtual tourism activities, including borderless data flows and reduction of barriers when it comes to digital trade between countries. MTA provides up to date information and communications support that helps members promote the industry and both their physical and virtual services.

Technology providers are confident that they are providing the right solutions for the future of tourism but there is little research to follow standards for a virtual future. MTA can help to create those standards.
