“In Santiago de Chile while participating in the 2016 Latin American Roadshow we found a Fuente (Fountain) which needed some maintenance, however the one we had as our leader was in perfect working order! Ruben de la Fuente did a superb job in curating a visit to three markets in three languages over 10 days. Events were professionally organised, well attended by quality agents who clearly had a great respect for Ruben and we were able to directly benefit from his relationships. As we like to say – muchos, muchos gracias!”
– Michael Nelson, Managing Director, Pinnacle Tourism Marketing, Cairns –
“This was Pinnacle Tourism Marketing’s first time to market and we were very keen to understand the opportunities out of the South American Market. We chose this roadshow based on feedback from other suppliers, that not only spoke highly of the organisation of the roadshow, but also to the tangible results that they had seen from their attendance over time. I fully concur with their comments on the quality of the roadshow. The calibre and number of agents that we got to engage with, has left us with a very significant database that we will be able to utilise to strengthen our engagement that was formed initially from this sales mission. The fact that we got to see so many agents speaks directly to the knowledge and respect that Ruben has in the market with these agents. We now look forward to working with Latinos Downunder in building this market for our clients.”

“Having done my second ‘LDU Tour of Duty’ with Ruben, we as a company and an emerging destination for South America, have seen the positive results with a marked increase in visitor numbers to the Cook Islands.”
Without a doubt the LDU Roadshow is one of, if not the best run and well organized Road Shows I have had the pleasure to participate in.”
– Tane Evans, International Sales and Marketing Manager, AEA Luxury Tours –
“Ruben’s expertise has been invaluable in developing brand awareness and business development within the key emerging market of Latin America. Latinos Downunder is a key driver to this continued success.”
