Tap into one of the world's fastest growing romance travel markets!
LGBTQ+ consumers occupy the "sweet spot" in the travel industry:
And, they love working with experienced travel advisors who speak their language and understand their needs and wishes.
Want to tap into this exploding market? DWHSA proudly offers a new combined training program: The Equality Institute's certification in LGBTQ+ weddings PLUS the launch of our "Certified LGBTQ+ Romance Travel Specialist" designation!
More than 2,000 professionals (including many DWHSA members!) have completed the institute's classes in same-sex weddings. The prerecorded sessions with Bernadette Smith (the institute's founder) will cover LGBTQ+ wedding trends and traditions and the best practices for promoting yourself to this market. You'll earn a certificate of completion, a badge to display on your web site, a Kindle version of Bernadette's book "The Business of Gay Weddings," a one-year listing on the CatalystWedCo.com site, a six-month listing on the LGBTWeddings.com site, and a permanent listing on the institute's directory of certified planners!
Meanwhile, DWHSA's course will go beyond same-sex weddings to focus on all types of romance travel for LGBTQ+ consumers - from proposal trips and honeymoons to anniversary trips and vow renewals. It focuses specifically on practical steps you can take to brand your business as LGBTQ+ friendly! This program includes a new certification logo you may use in your marketing to confirm you've completed the training.
While the standard registration for the institute's program is USD$299, we've negotiated specially discounted rates for DWHSA members only. And, if you sign up by Jan. 31, you can lock in heavier discounts by taking both programs! The next start date is Mon., Feb. 3, 2025.

NOTE: These programs are available only to current DWHSA members. If you'd like to join us, here's our "member referral" application you may use to save $20 on your dues!
