IGLTA celebrates LGBTQ+ tourism every day, but World LGBTQ+ Tourism Day on 10 August serves as a reminder of the tremendous impact and importance of queer travelers everywhere! Created in 2020 by the Argentine LGBT Chamber of Commerce, CCGLAR, this day highlights the power of inclusivity and the positive contributions of the LGBTQ+ community in the tourism industry. By welcoming travelers from all backgrounds, we enrich local economies and foster stronger communities.
Join us in celebrating this important day together by sharing your stories, experiences and support using #LGBTQTourismDay.

Iceland is a must-see destination for LGBTQ+ travelers who seek nature and adventure in a unique country that exceeds the imagination’s expectations. You will find Iceland’s scenery changes drastically depending on the time of day, year and your location on the 103,000 km 2 (39,768 sq mi) island. Although the Lutheran Church remains the country’s state church, you will find the Icelandic people to be some of the most welcoming and friendliest across Europe. One notable establishment is Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík that literally translates to “free church in Reykjavík,” which is where LGBTQ+ weddings are held. Iceland is also home to a large Pride festival that attracts 100,000 people annually. To put that in perspective, the population of Iceland is only 350,000! Iceland is particularly known to be LGBTQ+ friendly given its openness and legal protections extended to LGBTQ+ residents.
