Travel Free. Travel with Pride.



EQUAL Africa, powered by The IGLTA Foundation, will bring together travel suppliers, buyers and media as well as lifestyle brands targeting the LGBTQ+ community. You’ll hear from influential people who can pass on some great lessons, enabling you to avoid the mistakes of brands who have ‘superficially’ tried to break into the LGBTQ+ market. Engaging in several educational sessions brings all of the debate about LGBTQ+ travel to the table.



The LGBTQ+ community are fighting for something that non-LGBTQ+ travellers have always taken for granted. Belonging. The ability for an individual to choose where in the world they feel like they really belong has always been the privilege of those who conform. Discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression is an all-too-familiar reality for those in the LGBTQ+ community. 



At EQUAL Africa, powered by The IGLTA Foundation, we bring together leaders from the travel & lifestyle sectors to light the way through education, engagement and connections. With brands, advisors and press making up our EQUAL community, this is where you can develop your business strategies, expand your LGBTQ+ understanding and connect with your like-minded peers. 



It’s a big beautiful world of longing and belonging and we’re proud to invite you to join.
