ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:
- South Africa hosting the Annual Global Convention in Cape Town in 2016 was the perfect start, and I aim to help South African travel partners tap into this growing market, creating a stronger LGBTQ travel network.
- “Martina, who has strong tourism industry roots and also was one of our convention emcees, was the obvious choice to represent us in our continued efforts to support LGBTQ-welcoming travel businesses in South Africa and keep that dialogue moving forward.
- Barth's role was created to better connect with the participants of that successful event and enhance IGLTA's member outreach efforts in South Africa, the most progressive country in Africa for LGBTQ rights.
