The gay travel and tourism industry has never been hotter. Worth billions annually, more hotels, tour operators, travel agents and destinations now actively target gay and lesbian travelers.
But many gay travelers worry that they may experience customer service levels that can be tainted by discomfort - or homophobia - when traveling.
It's a travel association that's been supporting our community for over 20 years. Actually the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) is the world's leading travel trade association committed to growing and enhancing gay and lesbian tourism business.
Skilled in education, promotion and networking, IGLTA works with airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines, tourist offices, and travel agencies to help us travel comfortably and informed.
