It has also set up a working group, comprising the Catalan Association of LGBTI Businesses (ACEGAL), Barcelona City Council, and other private businesses and events, such as the Casa Batlló, the Berdache Festival and the Circuit Festival, with a shared LGTBIQ+ tourism strategy, which has as its main event Barcelona’s hosting of the IGLTA (International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association) Annual Global Convention in 2023.
