That made IGLTA’s first convention, which was held in San Francisco, stand out. Our groundbreaking mission to expand LGBTQ tourism globally made us a resource for queer travelers—and the agents, tour operators, airlines, hotels, cruise lines and tourism bureaus eager to attract them. Today our mission continues, and the IGLTA Annual Global Convention is more important than ever. Our organization brings to our convention host city the year’s best new ideas, resources and services that help strengthen the LGBTQ tourism community at home and abroad. More than anything, however, the convention links like-minded professionals who are truly the innovators of our industry. We are so pleased to welcome you to Toronto for a magical time “Together”—the theme of this year’s 35th anniversary gathering. Together we are stronger, and the connections we form through face-to-face quality time remain the most effective way to evolve as a tourism community, and as a powerful market. This year’s convention builds on our previous successes with new panel discussions, education sessions, networking events and other opportunities to travel, learn and connect. Thought leaders like Albert Herrera of Virtuoso and Maria Cuba of Airbnb Experiences will speak about LGBTQ travel and tourism trends. Fabrice Houdart, Human Rights Officer, Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, will moderate a talk on “The Intersection of Human Rights and Tourism.” Rika Jean-Francois of ITB will discuss sustainability in tourism with Randy Durban, CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. These are just a few of the incredible presentations on this year’s agenda. It’s not all strictly business, though.

Despite a growing body of international research into volunteer motivation and the beneficial application of such knowledge in volunteer management strategies, a dearth of literature exists on the motives of volunteers within LGBT rights-based organisations. This study uses data from qualitative interviews with 6 formal volunteers from Namibian LGBT rights-based organisations to explore volunteer motivations. A thematic analysis of the research findings reveal the complex motivations underlying volunteering in these organisations. Volunteer motivations in Namibian LGBT rights-based organisations included: (a) addressing and promoting humanitarian concerns; (b) improved social interaction, integration and support; (c) self-regulatory opportunities for personal enhancement; (d) developing career prospects; and (e) responding to past homophobic incidents.
