Results from new national research indicate that 90% of Canadian LGBT+ travellers intend to travel domestically this year amidst international travel uncertainty. This represents a $12 billion leisure travel opportunity for a sector devastated by COVID-19.
Is your business market-ready? Canada’s LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Tourism HR Canada, is eager to help you welcome LGBT+ travellers to your region! National LGBT+ Tourism Project programming is available for free for a limited time thanks to funding from the Government of Canada.
We are pleased to now share two engaging digital workshops: we continue to offer Navigating LGBT+ Diversity and Inclusion in the Tourism Industry and we are excited to launch our LGBT+ Travel Market-Ready Seminars. Register today for one or both!
LGBT+ Travel Market-Ready Seminars:
This new two-hour webinar will share exclusive LGBT+ travel market information and case studies of best practices from around the world, as well as exposing you to a number of custom LGBT+ products to help inspire your own successful LGBT+ tourism welcoming strategy.

To help you spread the word amongst your networks, we’ve created a toolkit with drafted social posts and copy for your newsletter, plus a digital poster. If you share on social, we will amplify your organization on our social media channels.
If posted dates do not work for you or your stakeholders, please contact tourismcommunications@cglcc.ca and we will happily organize private programming on a date that works for you.
