New Partnership with LGBTQ+ Tourism Entrepreneurs

18 March 2026 - Great news from The Sigmund Project: We have partnered with the IGLTA Foundation to support LGBTQ+ tourism entrepreneurs and small business owners worldwide.

We're focusing on those often outside traditional systems—LGBTQ+ founders in emerging destinations, trans-led initiatives, and small operators building meaningful work without access to typical networks.

You can learn more at thesigmundproject.org/iglta.

“This is about making sure the incredible, and often overlooked talent within our global travel network has a clear path to be seen and heard. We’re opening up a direct line to mentorship and global connections because we know that when we support each other’s ideas, the whole industry wins.” said Thomas “TJ” Chernick (he/him), IGLTA Foundation Engagement Director.

For Sigmund, this is exactly why we exist.

To open doors.

To surface ideas.

To connect people who might not otherwise find each other.

Stay tuned. You’ll start to see this partnership come to life inside our new A.I-powered platform.

AND...If you’re building something in this space, or know someone who is, we want to hear from you. Simply reply to this email- we'd love to connect.
