I come from the Caribbean region where most people just prefer not to have any conversation period about LGBTQI issues at any level. Most of the countries in this region have discriminatory laws of some kind that impact the LGBTQI community. With tourism being the main revenue earner for the region what is the cost of exclusion of LGBTQI to our tourism sector earnings and attracting foreign investment?

Thank you, Juergen, for a great introduction and your opening remarks. It is indeed critical that we have comprehensive data and research to support inclusive policy-making across the world.

@MattiaRomani1 of EBRD says discrimination against LGBTI people is still prevalent in a lot of places, and surveys show this people feel this especially about workplaces or where they live. The cost of exclusion is definitely real -- be it financial or social inclusion. That's why this is a priority area for the EBRD.
