INTERNATIONAL LGBTQ+ TOURISM DAY
IGLTA celebrates LGBTQ+ tourism every day, but International LGBTQ+ Tourism Day serves as a powerful reminder of the global impact of queer travelers. Established in 2020 by the Argentine LGBT Chamber of Commerce, this special occasion highlights the positive contributions of LGBTQ+ travel, from fostering inclusion to creating jobs within the tourism and hospitality industry. Observed on 10 August, it also underscores how welcoming travelers of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and backgrounds enriches not only local economies but also the communities they visit through global connection. #LGBTQday

LGBTQ+ TRAVEL GUIDE TO URUGUAY
Uruguay is one of the most progressive countries in the world, let alone South America, especially when it comes to being LGBTQ+ inclusive. It was one of the first countries in South America to legalize same-sex marriage and has passed various other progressive laws, including legalizing abortions in 2012 and the legalization of cultivating, selling and consuming recreational cannabis in 2013. Uruguay has been viewed as one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ travelers to visit and for LGBTQ+ people to live. Often overshadowed by more popular destinations within South America, like Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay is quickly climbing the ranks to claim the top spot for LGBTQ+ visitors to South America.
