Today’s travelers increasingly choose destinations that reflect their values. For LGBTQ+ travelers, that alignment is deeply personal. In this webinar, Destinations International (DI), the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA) and IGLTA Foundation, and Valuegraphics will introduce key insights from Why Values Matter: A Destination Guide to LGBTQ+ Travelers.

This session explores three Power Values uniquely motivating LGBTQ+ travelers and how they influence destination choice and long-term loyalty. Through practical examples, attendees will gain insight into how the Power Values can shape destination strategies and lead to authentic experiences, stronger community connection, and measurable impact.

Thank you to the Destinations International Foundation for their support of this data-driven collaboration.

This webinar is approved for 1 CDME CE credit.
