Take Advantage of IGLTA's Consumer Marketing & Outreach Program

 As a response to our members’ desire to have more opportunities to reach consumers directly, we will be launching a series of consumer-focused programs and member benefits.

IGLTA currently reaches many LGBTQ+ travelers via our digital platforms. Through our website, consumer email list and social media channels, we already more than 100,000 consumers monthly. We plan to not only increase this reach but also to develop new programs, initiatives and member benefits that will help our member businesses reach more LGBTQ+ travelers through the IGLTA network.

You can access additional information on all of IGLTA's Consumer Outreach & Marketing Programs below. Be sure to check this page frequently as we will periodically update this information as we roll out new programs and opportunities for members.

Website Profile

IGLTA members have the ability to create a dynamic profile on the IGLTA website with business descriptions, photos and social media links. Be sure to keep your profile up-to-date because we use this information when we promote your products and services via our digital channels. You can also associate your business with multiple countries in your profile, which will allow your business to be displayed in more relevant places on the IGLTA website. The Multiple Location option is meant to show travelers the places where you operate. For more information and assistance on creating and updating your profile, please review these blog posts or contact our membership department (membership@iglta.org).
