Who You’ll meet

Discover the top LGBTQ-friendly destinations, tour operators, travel providers from around the globe, and connect directly with the experts who are on-hand to help you find, plan, personalize and book your next trip, right on the show floor.

Designed as a travel marketplace, you’ll have the opportunity to learn the latest and greatest information ranging from destination workshops, to solo and travel safety-focused sessions, all included with your ticket.

While you’re here, be sure to speak with each booth representative as they’ll be providing show-only travel specials and giveaways that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Plus, stick around after the show for a Pavilion-only pizza party, where you can win a free trip!

Who Should Attend? 

We’re often asked, “is the Pavilion only for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer travelers?”

The answer is an emphatic “NO!” Whether you are a member of the community or the brother, sister, mother, aunt, bestie of a queer person, or you just want to see where your cool gay friends are going on vacation this year, you’ll find something here that’s great for you.
