Founded in 1920, Association for Travellers Aid International (ATA International) is a global, non-profit network of member agencies providing professional social services for travellers. ATA assists the traveller in finding themselves once they have become lost, through situational and emergency intervention and support to meet needs arising while travelling. ATA focuses on individuals who, because of economic, social, cultural or other factors, may require access to social services not readily available in their time of travel.
