In addition to receiving the award, Mr. Suri also spoke on the main stage at the convention, where he shared his insights and experiences with industry professionals, LGBTQ+ travelers, and advocates from around the world.
“Keshav Suri’s tireless advocacy has been instrumental in promoting LGBTQ+ inclusivity within the travel industry, as well as creating safe spaces for India’s queer community. His efforts in India to support queer people in hospitality and the rights of LGBTQ+ people throughout the country are a shining example for the world. We applaud his unwavering commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ travel.”
