Long — full paragraph
OnyxVoyage is a private luxury house designed first for Black gay and bisexual men. What began as a shared list of hotels that knew how to welcome us became a directory, a 24-hour concierge, and a house: bespoke travel commissions worldwide, the OnyxVoyage Atlas of member-vetted cities and venues, atelier grooming designed for our skin and our spirit, and a community of salons, dinners, and gatherings across twelve cities a year. Every partner is vetted for welcome, discretion, and craft — if a room cannot honor who you are, it does not make the house. OnyxVoyage: all of you, welcome here.

SubjectPartnership inquiry: OnyxVoyage — luxury travel built for Black gay men
Dear IGLTA Membership Team, I'm writing on behalf of OnyxVoyage — a members-led luxury house built by and for Black gay and bisexual men. We curate bespoke travel, an Atlas of member-vetted welcoming cities and venues, atelier grooming, and a global community of salons and gatherings. Every hotel, guide, and itinerary we work with is vetted for safety, dignity, and welcome. We admire IGLTA's work opening travel to every traveler, and we'd love to explore: • IGLTA membership for OnyxVoyage, and how to participate in the association's events and partner network; • Introductions to destination partners, tourism boards, and hotels serving LGBTQ+ travelers who share our standards; • Joint visibility — co-hosted gatherings, media features, or member offers that put Black gay travelers at the center of luxury travel, not the margins. A press kit with our story, quick facts, and media contacts is available at https://onyxvoyageluxury.com/press, and we're glad to send anything further you need. Thank you for the work you do — and for considering us. Warm regards, The OnyxVoyage House press@onyxvoyage.com https://onyxvoyageluxury.com
