Storytelling : IGLTA2025 Insights

Grateful to the entire IGLTA team for an exceptional 2025 Annual Global Convention. Congratulations John Tanzella, LoAnn Halden and the IGLTA entire team! The program, energy, and community spirit was front and center —thank you for the undaunted effort you put into elevating LGBTQIA+ travel, inclusion, and opportunity around the world. And to the IGLTA Foundation, the immense work and efforts are inspiring.

I’m especially appreciative that the US Cultural & Heritage Marketing Council could contribute to the important dialogue thru the breakout program that dove into the intersections of storytelling and inclusive tourism. It was a fun to reconnect with longtime colleagues and meet so many new partners throughout the conference!

Here’s to the work ahead—and to the connections that make it possible. 🧭🏳️‍🌈
