Leading experts will present their latest findings and among other things will examine the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on a market which before the crisis was one of the fastest-growing in the international tourism industry. 

This year’s LGBT+ Leadership Summit meanwhile will look at how working and living conditions in the LGBT+ community can be improved.

Visitors can make use of the virtual Brand Cards and LGBT+ Café with its Meeting Corners in order to network and exchange views and ideas for the future.
