CEO of IGLTA Gives Career Advice and LGBT Travel Update

February 20, 2014

Travel in the LGBT community is an entire industry in itself.  It is a part of the culture and businesses, cities, and organizations have caught on and strive to become more welcoming to the travelers.  Travel was among the first clients of Community Marketing & Insights.


I’m delighted to share the fourth interview of the Community Marketing & Insights series of Gay Ambition Podcast focused on LGBT travel with you.  It was a pleasure to speak with John Tanzella, the President and CEO of the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association.  This interview was done in December at the 14th annual conference on LGBT tourism and hospitality.
