TTC Tour Brands has renewed its partnership with the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), strengthening its dedication to creating inclusive travel experiences for all.

The global tour operator, whose brands include Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations and Costsaver, announced the renewal ahead of its attendance at IGLTA Global Convention in Palm Springs taking place through October 25, 2025.

The partnership renewal maintains TTC Tour Brands' position as the only tour company at the Silver Partner sponsorship level with IGLTA. This distinction underscores the company's leadership in developing diverse travel experiences across nearly 500 tours in over 70 countries.

"Our attendance at the IGLTA Global Convention reflects our commitment to nurturing our relationship with the LGBTQ+ community and creating unforgettable, accessible experiences for everyone," said Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO of TTC Tour Brands. "Renewing our partnership with IGLTA at the Silver Partner level ensures advisors can recommend TTC Tour Brands with confidence, knowing every traveler will feel welcome on our tours."

Paulo Zambrano, Senior National Accounts Manager, and Kevin Loftus, Brendan Vacations North American Sales Manager, are representing the company at the convention, connecting with travel professionals from around the world to strengthen relationships within the LGBTQ+ travel community.

IGLTA CEO/President John Tanzella welcomed the continued collaboration, noting that The Travel Corporation has been a consistent supporter of the organization. He emphasized that partnerships like this strengthen shared efforts to enable authentic travel experiences.

The renewal aligns with TTC Tour Brands' "Tours for Any and Everyone" initiative, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to ensuring all travelers feel welcome and valued across its award-winning portfolio of brands.
