IGLTA's Record-Breaking Global Convention in Osaka

 Our 2024 Global Convention in Osaka, Japan, was the largest outside of North America and most globally diverse in IGLTA's history, with attendees from over 50 countries. The event highlighted the Asia-Pacific region as a rapidly emerging market for LGBTQ+ travel and offered valuable opportunities for industry leaders with a shared vision of advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion to connect. A special thanks to the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB) for their partnership in making this milestone possible!
