“We’re honoured to partner with IGLTA and to show people that Dallas is an inspiring, diverse destination,” **said Phillip J. Jones, VisitDallas President/CEO**. *“We want visitors to know that we are a place that supports, celebrates and welcomes all who visit, live, learn, work and play here. Dallas is a destination that embraces and promotes diversity, inclusion and equality and understands it’s our differences that make us stronger.”*

VisitDallas supports numerous LGBT+ service organisations within its local communities, and also globally, from actively bidding on the International Gay Games to supporting The Trans Chorus of Los Angeles.

Each year, the organisation is a major sponsor of the Black Tie Dinner in Dallas, which raises more than US$1 million for the HRC Foundation. In addition, VisitDallas was a leader in the fight to defeat the discriminatory “Bathroom Bill” in the last Texas legislative session.

As an IGLTA Global Partner, [VisitDallas](http://visitdallas.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) will have increased engagement with the association’s members and receive added visibility from the association to showcase the destination’s progressive offerings to LGBT+ travellers.
