Some of TTC’s brands have been active IGLTA members for many years and the company has invested in sensitivity training to ensure that all staff members worldwide are delivering the best possible service to LGBTQ+ travellers. With the global partnership, TTC is further uniting its portfolio—which also includes Contiki, African Travel, Brendan Vacations, Busabout, Adventure World and AAT Kings—around its efforts to drive industry change and amplify its LGBTQ+ welcoming message.

“TTC’s respected brands operate in 70 countries and offer everything from tours to river cruises to boutique hotels with options for all ages and budgets,” said IGLTA President/CEO John Tanzella. “It will be a pleasure to showcase this diverse range to LGBTQ+ travellers because we know that it’s paired with a deep commitment to inclusivity.”
