Introduction
Following the example of Thomas Cook and the first great voyages, Claudia Terrade is the pioneer of great voyages in Latin America. 37 years ago, she created her first trips for works councils, and as fate would have it, she developed her DMC business specializing in this region of the world under the brand QUIMBAYA LATIN AMERICA. Strong for having opened offices in each country of Central and South America, thousands of travelers, mostly French, discovered the new world of Christopher Columbus and beyond. The most important French tour operators, as well as many travel agencies doing "à la carte", entrusted him with their production. If Quimbaya is the major player in Latin destinations, it certainly does not have exclusivity, and in this immense playground, the place is there for those who will know how to honor these cultures. But greed and boldness in our industry exists, as does the fear of no longer existing. The post-Covid period reveals the embezzlement of all parties, without any loyalty, betrayals are legion. We have heard such an insult to the values of the evanescent concept of "the family of tourism", and we wanted to know more to share this bad adventure with you - for all intents and purposes - by meeting Claudia Terrade.
