The association was founded in 1983 and is a network of LGBTQ+ welcoming tourism businesses, which provides free resources and information while working to promote equality and safety within LGBTQ+ tourism.
IGLTA’s members include LGBTQ+ friendly accommodations, transport, destinations, service providers, agents, tour operators, events and travel media located in more than 75 countries.
It aims to provide information and resources for LGBTQ+ travellers and expand LGBTQ+ tourism globally by demonstrating its "significant" impact.
Head of franchise for The Holiday Franchise Company Joanne Aldridge said: "One of our newest franchisees, The Trip Designer, are featuring LGBTQ+ holidays but we didn’t have tools in place to support them, it’s important our partners know we will evolve with them to grow their brand."
