The International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) will stage its annual global convention in Toronto, Canada in 2018, the organisation has revealed.
The 2018 instalment, which will be staged from 9-12 May, will mark the second time the city has hosted the event and the 35th edition overall.
The convention, the leading educational and networking event for the LGBT tourism industry, will take place at the downtown Westin Harbour Castle hotel on the shores of Lake Ontario.
“Canada stands at the forefront of gay and lesbian rights, and our 2009 convention in Toronto was one of our best attended,” says IGLTA board chair Dan Melesurgo. “Toronto is truly a diverse, multicultural city that has world-class attractions and unique neighbourhoods, including a large and popular gay village. We’re excited to return in 2018 and set the bar even higher.”
Toronto’s reputation as an LGBT-welcoming destination continues to grow. WorldPride 2014 united advocates and allies from around the globe in Toronto, attracting an estimated 2 million visitors over the course of the 10-day festival, and the city’s annual gay pride event is one of the largest in North America.
