The leading member-based global organization dedicated to LGBT tourism
The mission of IGLTA is to create value for LGBT travelers and expand LGBT tourism globally by demonstrating its significant social and economic impact.
Founded in 1983 with 25 members, the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association now has a truly global presence with more than 2,200 dues-paying member businesses - and nearly 3,000 individual members - as well as over 25,000 (and growing) consumers from 85 countries.
IGLTA represents LGBT and LGBT-friendly accommodations, destinations, service providers, travel agents, tour operators, and events, as well as the LGBT travel consumers they wish to serve.
The Association is comprised of a staff of seasoned executives, a governing Board of Directors, and 28 Ambassadors representing 25 countries and regions, and serving travel suppliers, buyers, media and LGBT travel consumers through a wide range of activities, events, educational and networking opportunities, digital platforms, and an annual convention.
Membership in IGLTA is open to all travel and travel-related businesses and professionals who wish to support the LGBT travel industry throughout the world. IGLTA will serve as both your business guild and your trade organization. The benefits are endless and include tangible and intangible assets. Being part of a trade association gives you the cutting edge resources you need to propel your business forward. If you have any questions on IGLTA membership, click here to contact a representative.
