The International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), which provides information and resources for LGBTQ+ travellers, has announced it’s planning to bring the 37th edition of its global convention to Atlanta, USA from September 8-11, 2021.
John Tanzella, IGLTA President/CEO, said: ‘We are looking forward to resuming our convention and creating key networking opportunities for our global community of LGBTQ+ welcoming tourism businesses.
‘We will be closely monitoring travel and business guidelines to ensure a safe return, and moving the event to September gives us more time to prepare.
‘With the recommendation of our board and in response to requests from our membership, we plan to keep the IGLTA Global Convention in the late third or early fourth quarter moving forward. The change of season will create fewer conflicts with other industry events.’
The 37th edition of the conference will connect gay, lesbian and gay friendly travel and tourism suppliers and buyers through its hosted buyer and scheduled appointment programme, numerous educational workshops and networking receptions.
William Pate, president and CEO of the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, said: ‘On behalf of Atlanta’s entire hospitality community, we are thrilled to host the 2021 IGLTA Global Convention and welcome attendees from across the globe.
‘Despite the difficult season our industry is currently navigating, travel is resilient and we look forward to showcasing what makes Atlanta a fantastic destination for LGBTQ+ travellers.’
