WELCOME TO LEVEL 1: FOUNDATIONS OF LGBTQ+ TRAVEL
This is where your journey begins. Level 1 builds the foundation that every other level in this certification depends on — the market knowledge, the historical context, and the client understanding that will shape how you work from this point forward.
Over three modules, you’ll explore who LGBTQ+ travelers are, what drives their decisions, and why serving this community well is both a meaningful professional opportunity and the right thing to do.
