Africa Travel WeekIf you’ve ever wanted to tap into the LGBTQ+ market. The time is now and this webinar is a great place to start.
Not only are LGBTQ+ travellers set to be some of the first to start travelling for leisure once borders open, but estimates report that if the while community was lumped together like a country, it would have the third largest GDP in the world!
In celebration of Pride Month, we arranged this virtual event to help travel businesses prepare to attract this dynamic segment in the long-term. To accelerate the discussion, we invited John Tanzella CEO of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), Peter Jordan a Consultant in LGBTQ+ Destination Development, and Meg Ten Eyck the editor of EveryQueer Magazine.
From practical insights to valuable tips and the most up-to-date resources, this recording will help you remain sincere in your marketing and guide you in creating a safe and genuinely welcoming environment for this growing market.
