MILES OF LOVE: LGBT+ TRAVEL ADVOCACY FORUM
In a world first, LGBT+ activists (including the infamous Russian punk band, Pussy Riot!) will come together with leaders in the travel industry to discover how we can all be ‘travel agents of change’.
For this unique and groundbreaking event, 30 diverse, challenging, entertaining and informative speakers from 15 countries will address the conference to explain how tourism can both help and hinder the long march to equality and dignity. Industry representatives will outline their work to bring genuine LGBT+ positive inclusiveness to their business approaches.
