About Asosiasaun Turizmu Koleku Mahanak Atauro (ATKOMA)

Originally formed as a group of tourism champions, ATKOMA has been working together since 2005 to pursue a common vision for developing low-impact tourism on the island of Ataúro. Through the support of USAID’s Tourism for All Project, ATKOMA was legally registered on February 22, 2019 and is expanding its role to become the official Destination Management and Marketing Organization (DMMO) for Ataúro Island.

Mission

As the DMMO for Ataúro, ATKOMA will increase cooperation among local stakeholders to support the sustainable development of Ataúro’s tourism industry while preserving the community’s natural and cultural assets and improving the lives of local residents. ATKOMA will be the most comprehensive source for travel information about Ataúro Island and will advocate and mobilize collective action to enhance visitor safety, beautification of the destination, and ensure sustainable economic development and cultural sustainability
