LGBTI Travel Twitter Chat sponsored by U.S. State Department (@TravelGov) and ManAboutWorld (@MAWtravel)
Tuesday, June 7; 3pm-4pm ET; 12 noon-1pm PT
Goals: This Twitter chat focuses on safe LGBTI travel overseas. The idea is to connect with gay U.S. citizen travelers and answer any questions they have about safety, logistics, or other issues while traveling abroad and to introduce them to the resources available at Travel.gov (and elsewhere) for LGBTI travelers and all travelers. It’s an opportunity for all organizations who are concerned about LGBTI travel safety to participate in this important discussion.
