The Association of Tourism and Leisure Education is a membership-based networking and research organisation. It is coordinated out of the UK and run by a Secretariat based in the Netherlands. Its main objective is to promote education and research on tourism, leisure and related subjects (such as culture, the international standardisation of skills, etc.) through regular meetings and information exchanges between member institutions.
The website lists members, events, current projects, ATLAS publications for sale, and has various portals for members and those wishing to join.
