What an unforgettable evening at the IGLTA Foundation Pride Reception during IPW! 🥂

From reconnecting with friends and colleagues to dancing, celebration, and plenty of joy, the night was a beautiful reminder of the community behind LGBTQ+ tourism.

We are beyond excited to share that together, we raised more than $100K to help advance the mission of the IGLTA Foundation and continue supporting LGBTQ+ tourism education, research, and emerging destinations around the world.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to all of our generous sponsors and supporters for making this event possible. Your commitment and partnership continue to create real impact across our industry.

Following WTM Africa & Equal Africa, the IGLTA Foundation was proud to co-host a special research networking reception in Cape Town, bringing together industry leaders, academics, and government stakeholders for meaningful exchange and collaboration.

A special thank you to our valued partners and hosts: the Centre for Tourism Research in Africa (CeTRA) at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) for making this evening possible.

The highlight of the night: the official announcement of our new partnership with CeTRA for an upcoming research project on LGBTQ+ tourism in South Africa, a first-of-its-kind study on the continent.

This collaboration marks an important step toward building the data and insights needed to better understand and support LGBTQ+ travelers across Africa, while strengthening the link between research and real-world impact.

Grateful to everyone who joined us and continues to push
this work forward. The momentum is real! 🩷

And this is just the beginning.

At Equal Africa, the IGLTA Foundation was proud to host three impactful Brain Box sessions, bringing together tourism professionals, entrepreneurs, and students to push inclusive travel forward across the continent.

◾️ Pathways to Impact: a powerful exchange on building inclusive tourism businesses, featuring inspiring insights from Vivian Kobe and real-world experiences from across Africa.

◾️ What Matters Most: turning LGBTQ+ traveler values into actionable marketing strategies, equipping industry leaders with data-driven tools to better connect with diverse audiences.

◾️ Emerging Voices: a dynamic dialogue with students, entrepreneurs, and academics exploring how the next generation is shaping a more inclusive future for African tourism.

Across all three sessions, one thing was clear: Africa’s tourism future is being built by bold, collaborative voices committed to inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their perspectives, and continues to drive meaningful change in our industry.

The work doesn’t stop here.
