FITUR LGBT+ 2025 boosts diversity with an innovative and inclusive programme

FITUR LGBT+ will once again bring together professionals, institutions and travellers at IFEMA MADRID from 22 to 26 January in the largest space dedicated to inclusive tourism. Under the slogan 'Diversity in every Destination', and in collaboration with JN Global Project, this space held within the framework of the International Tourism Trade Fair presents an innovative programme to reaffirm its role as a reference point to learn about the latest trends in the sector and the positive impact of diversity in the tourism industry. 

Located in Hall 9 at FITUR, the section will be the setting for a series of conferences that will include discussion forums, presentations, success stories and networking spaces. Each of these meetings will feature leading industry experts who will be sharing innovative strategies to strengthen the inclusive approach in the tourism sector. 

This programming is complemented by a vibrant weekend schedule of shows and performances for the general public including drag shows, live music, fashion shows and performances celebrating diversity and inclusive culture.
