The reason why Osaka Bay Area MICE has decided to support the promotion of the IGLTA Global Convention is to position Osaka as an international hub for LGBTQ+ tourism, while contributing to SDG Goal 5, ‘Achieve gender equality,’ and fulfilling the social responsibility of the Sakishima area to promote sustainable development. Additionally, by strengthening collaboration with the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau and enabling each MICE facility in the Osaka Bay Area to learn and implement LGBTQ+ friendly initiatives, we aim to foster and expand the values of diversity and inclusion.
