TTC Tour Brands renewed its partnership with the LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), which further fortifies its commitment to inclusivity and its “Tours for Any and Everyone” initiative.

The partnership renewal took place during IGLTA’s Global Convention, which kicked off in Palm Springs, Calif., on Oct. 21.

“Our attendance at the IGLTA Global Convention reflects our commitment to nurturing our relationship with the LGBTQ+ community and creating unforgettable, accessible experiences for everyone,” said Melissa DaSilva, deputy CEO of TTC Tour Brands, whose companies include Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations and Costsaver.

“Renewing our partnership with IGLTA at the Silver Partner level ensures advisors can recommend TTC Tour Brands with confidence, knowing every traveler will feel welcome on our tours.”

TTC Tour Brands is currently the only tour company at the Silver Partner sponsorship level, which bolsters “its “leadership in building travel experiences that celebrate diversity across nearly 500 tours in over 70 countries,” TTC said.

“The Travel Corporation has been a consistent supporter of IGLTA, and we’re thrilled with their active participation in our Global Convention in Palm Springs,” said IGLTA CEO/President John Tanzella (he/him).

“Partnerships like this strengthen our shared efforts to enable authentic travel that enriches lives and connects the LGBTQ+ community and tourism industry,” he added.

TTC Tour Brands’ parent company is The Travel Corporation, which also operates Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, Insight Vacations and Contiki.
