Mission

Welcome to the Intersectional Engagement Committee at IGLTA, where diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences come together to strengthen and shape the future of LGBTQ+ tourism. Our committee is committed to fostering meaningful connection, inclusive representation, and equitable engagement across communities worldwide. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, we aim to create spaces where every voice is valued, every story is respected, and every traveler and industry professional feels a true sense of belonging.

Women's Leadership

Starting in 2014, the IGLTA Women’s Leadership Reception was created to celebrate, connect, and empower women leaders and allies within the LGBTQ+ tourism industry. What began as a dedicated space for networking and visibility has evolved into a broader commitment to fostering intersectional engagement, inclusive leadership, and meaningful community connection across diverse identities and experiences.

Gender Diverse Travel Advisory Group (GTAG)

The International LGBTQ+ Travel Association’s (IGLTA) Gender Diverse Travel Advisory Group is urging the travel industry to support inclusion and safety for all travelers as attempts to erase anti-trans/gender diverse people escalate globally. The volunteer-led group, in collaboration with IGLTA and the IGLTA Foundation, has released a statement calling for meaningful action.

GTAG provides guidance and resources to enhance accessibility and safety for trans and gender-diverse travelers. The group works to ensure IGLTA members and the broader tourism industry create welcoming spaces where all travelers can thrive. Learn more about the group’s work here.

Black Travel Leaders

The Black Leaders Breakfast is a networking event that brings together Black professionals and allies to connect, share experiences, and celebrate leadership within the travel industry. Attendees can enjoy meaningful conversations, expand their professional networks, and gain insights from peers in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
