Pink Choice is delighted to report that gay couples in New Hampshire can start applying for many of the rights and responsibilities of marriage as early as January under a law Gov. John Lynch signed Thursday establishing civil unions.
"We in New Hampshire have had a long and proud tradition taking the lead in opposing discrimination," Lynch said. "Today that tradition continues."
Couples who enter civil unions will have the same rights, responsibilities and obligations as married couples. Same-sex unions from other states also would be recognized if they were legal in the state where they were performed.
Legislators who gathered for the bill signing packed the governor's chambers and overflowed into an adjoining sitting room. They snapped photos and burst into applause as he signed it.
"I've listened and I've heard all the arguments," said Lynch, a Democrat. "I do not believe that this bill threatens marriage. I believe that this is a matter of conscience and fairness."
Episcopal Bishop V. Gene Robinson was among those attending. Although his consecration in 2003 as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church divided the worldwide Anglican Communion to which it belongs, Robinson and his longtime partner plan to take advantage of civil unions.
"This is not a radical departure," Robinson said of the bill. "This is a real confirmation of what New Hampshire has always been about: the freedom of its own citizens and fairness for everyone."
Robinson said he will not direct Episcopal priests in the state to bless same-sex unions, letting priests decide that individually. Such blessings have been another divisive issue for Episcopalians and the Anglican union.
"That authority belongs to them and I would not in any way ask them not to do that. ... Just like in marriages, every priest will have the option to bless or not to bless," Robinson said.
Massachusetts alone among the U.S. states allows gay marriage. Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Maine, California and Washington allow either civil unions or domestic partnerships, and Oregon will join the list with New Hampshire in January. Hawaii extends certain spousal rights to same-sex couples and cohabiting heterosexual pairs. (Beverley Wang, AP)

FUTURE TRENDS ABOUT SAVVY TRAVELERS
Understanding consumers’ expectations is paramount to delivering the type of hospitality experience that will bring repeat business and earn excellent world-of-mouth recommendations. These expectations are being driving by five major cultural trends, according to Daniel Levine, founder, Avant-Guide.
Whether you call them Gen Y, the Millennials, Echo Boomers, the Net Generation or Worlders, the currently generation of 12 to 27 year olds is information savvy and media-oriented. To reach this segment of the market, the Hotel Distribution Industry will need to employ strategies that meet the needs of this hyper-technological group, say speakers at the 2007 Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association (HEDNA) Conference held on 22 May 2007 at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.
The Millennial’s view of the world is that “life is to be shared, displayed and lived on the world stage,” says Dr. Lalia Rach, associated deal of the New York University’s (NYU) Tisch Center and HVS International Chair at NYU. Millennials feel they share music, media and movies with others around the world, leading to shared experience. This generation feels that cultural differences have only a secondary impact on their lives. Millennials have high expectations, expect to receive recognition for their achievements and place a great deal of importance on peer-to-peer experiences. In addition, they are considered to be unconventional – this is the generation that wears flip-flop sandals in the middle of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Yet, this is the group that is schedule sensitive and still close to parents.
Marketing to this segment of travelers calls for different approaches. According to Rach, marketing needs to be on the Millennial’s schedule, which is based on a 24/7 availability – this generation won’t accept that brick-and-mortar businesses close when the Internet is open all the time. The Hotel Distribution Industry should look at using social networks to get their messages to the Millennials. The ideal technological tool for this generation is the Apple iPhone, which encompasses all the tech changes in one device. “It’s all about the experience, lifestyle and personalization,” Rach says.
Reaching an emerging segment – the Chinese traveler
The Millennials aren’t the only up-and-coming consumer segment that needs to be addressed by the Hotel Distribution Industry. More and more Chinese are traveling. Hotels can and should be marketing to them – especially hotels in Europe, advises Tom Jenkins, executive director, European Tour Operators Association. Jenkins believes this is a potentially huge market although at the moment, 75% of Chinese travelers visit only Hong Kong and Macao due to credit card and visa issues.
The Association recently surveyed travel agents in three Chinese cities – Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. The survey found the number one travel destination is France, followed by Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Europe is attractive due to shopping, scenery, its culture, dining and outdoor activities. On the plus side, the Chinese find Europe to be modern, civilized and cultured. On the negative side, the Chinese feel Europeans are arrogant and discriminatory, and that the region is expensive and dirty.
Marketing in China is difficult, says Jenkins, noting that the Chinese will research hospitality information online but still use travel agents for bookings.
The changing face of online booking
Until about five years ago, online booking wasn’t available on many websites in the West. But that’s changed dramatically. A panel composed of Google, Marriot Hotels, Lastminute.com, TripAdvisor and FlairView reviewed the progress of consumers in researching, choosing and booking hotels online.
Typically, consumers start a search on Google and then drill down for detail, with particular emphasis on other consumers’ reviews and comparison shopping for the best deal. Referral sites, such as TripAdvisor, allow consumers to get the good and bad news about a hotel before deciding to book. Meta search products like Kayak.com are useful for checking prices.
In addition, consumers want to see the complete experience a location has to offer in terms of sights of interest, the hotel’s accommodations, and other amenities. Consumers want to “be able to experience the vacation before arriving” at the destination, says panel moderator Bruce Speechley, business unit leader/Travel and Transportation, IBM Global.
The five cultural trends affecting the hotel distribution industry
Understanding consumers’ expectations is paramount to delivering the type of hospitality experience that will bring repeat business and earn excellent world-of-mouth recommendations. These expectations are being driving by five major cultural trends, according to Daniel Levine, founder, Avant-Guide. These trends are:
Exclusivity through personalization and localization—consumers expect to be catered to for their hospitality needs.
Upscale design—Design no longer is viewed as a luxury, but a trend to be honored.
Control and consumer transparency – consumers want to feel they are in control of their hospitality experience, whether it be using price comparison sites, placing live phone pictures online for others to see at websites like ComVu.com, or posting reviews of services on a website like Consumerist.com.
Empathy and social networking 2.5 – This is the intersection between real and virtual worlds. Various companies are offering networking opportunities from choosing your cab-sharing partner to IM-ing another passenger on the same plane to invitation-only ‘meet spaces’ designed to bring like-minded travelers together. Hotels, particularly, “are a natural and organic place for social networking.”
Abundance – The wealth of opportunities to service micro niches – whether it be the Millennials or over 50s—allows personalization of services and offerings.
Finally, Levine points out that hotels need to be seen as being dedicated to green initiatives in order to appeal to travelers.

CHINA TO BECOME 3rd BIGGEST TRAVEL DESTINATION
China is likely to replace the United States as the world's third most popular tourism destination next year, a United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) official said.
At present, China ranks fourth, after France, Spain and the United States.
Last year, China accounted for 5.8 percent of the global tourism market, a growth of 0.3 percent compared with two years ago.
Twenty-nine percent of tourists who traveled to Asia and the Pacific last year also visited China.
Xu Jing, regional representative for Asia and the Pacific of UNWTO, said the market share percentages of China and the U.S. last year were very close.
"I am confident China will overtake the US next year," he said at the 2007 China (Qingdao) International Olympics & Tourism Forum, which concluded on Friday.
UNWTO forecast last year that China would become the most popular destination by the year 2020. At the beginning of this year, it revised its forecast to 2015. Xu said the forecast was revised because of the rapid development of the country's tourism industry.
The number of overseas travelers to China has increased from 10.5 million in 1996 to 49 million in 2006. The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, will further boost China's tourism market.
The Pacific and Asia Travel Association said inbound tourism to China will increase by 5 percent year-on-year between 2007 and 2009.

PINK CHOICE SAYS SHAME ON SNOOPING DOWN UNDER?
PINK CHOICE was very disturbed to read that under policy options being considered by the Australian government, visitors with HIV could have their movements monitored or be prevented from entering Australia altogether.
Late last week it was revealed that Prime Minister John Howard has sought his immigration and health ministers' advice concerning the public health risk posed by HIV/AIDS, as well as querying the public health implications of letting HIV-positive people into the country.
The move follows comments Howard made during a radio interview last month, where the prime minister said he would consider stopping HIV-positive people from coming to the country unless there were humanitarian reasons to let them.
A spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews confirmed the Department of Immigration and Citizenship was preparing advice for the prime minister.
"The department is looking at what requirements we have under different visa classes (for HIV testing) and whether these need to be expanded," the spokesperson said.
Currently, people wanting to become permanent residents of Australia are tested for HIV, with some foreigners entering Australia on student or business visas exempt from testing.
If an individual hoping to enter Australia tests positive for HIV, his immigration application is automatically reviewed by health authorities to assess whether he represents a significant cost to the health system and whether he is financially able to support himself in Australia.
The final decision is made at the discretion of the Immigration Minister.
Howard has also asked authorities investigating HIV policy whether different government agencies should be notified of the movements of HIV-positive immigrants, according to a report in Melbourne's Age newspaper.
According to the paper, a source said the review was not considering a broad ban of all HIV-positive people, but better screening and monitoring and ways of monitoring or blocking those that set off "warning bells."
A spokesperson for the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations, Don Baxter, told the Age that infections arising from short-term visa holders have had "minuscule impact" and a HIV screening policy would adversely affect the tourist industry.
Baxter also raised concerns that compulsory screening would result in people having a false sense of security, conveying that "people with HIV will be kept out, therefore it's OK to have unsafe sex with people from other countries." (Cath Pope, Gay.com Australia)

PINK CHOICE AWAITS CONNECTICUT MARRIAGE DECISION
Amy Bourke
Along with other members of the gay and lesbian community, PINK CHOICE eagerly awaits the outcome of the debate over same-sex marriage rights in Connecticut that could soon be decided by the state Supreme Court.
The arguments from both sides were wrapped up in court on May 15, 2007, but the decision will probably be months in coming.
Eight same-sex couples originally filed the lawsuit in August 2004. They believe that when they were denied the ability to marry, their rights to equality were violated.
The couples have been together between 13 and 31 years.
Connecticut was the first state to allow civil unions without court pressure, but same-sex couples cannot marry in the state.
Attorney Bennet Klein told AP: "What is denied to these families is something that goes to the heart of equal protection, which is the right to be part of the fabric of society when they are just the same as other couples and other families."
However, the state is arguing that the civil unions the state offers do provide equality, and that the issue should be left to legislators.
"All of those rights and benefits, at least under state law, have been granted," Assistant Attorney General Jane Rosenberg told AP. "From a legal perspective, there are no rights that have been taken away from that group and, in fact, equal rights have now been given to that group."
If the judges were to find in favour of the gay couples, they could order an overhaul of Connecticut's marriage laws which would have national ramifications.
The only state which currently allows same-sex couples to marry is Massachusetts, while Connecticut, Vermont, California, New Jersey, Maine and Washington have laws allowing either civil unions or domestic partnership.
A civil union law is expected to take effect in New Hampshire in January.

NEW MAPPING SERVICE FROM YAHOO
Yahoo's online mapping service in the United States will begin giving driving directions in 34 European countries from Wednesday, May 16, 2007 as part of an upgrade aimed at luring traffic away from rivals AOL and Google Inc.
Besides guiding U.S. motorists around Europe for the first time, Yahoo said it also will feature more landmarks and other visual cues to help people find their way around neighborhoods. By relying on new software, Yahoo believes its maps will be more accurate, too.
So, if you need directions to any of the properties in North America and Europe that are listed on Pink Choice, you now have another mapping resource available to you.

OREGON CREATES DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS FOR GAY MEN AND LESBIANS.
On Jan 1, 2008, Oregon will join the growing list of states offering same-sex couples some of the benefits of marriage. Gov Ted Kulongonski who strongly backed the new legislation said the new law would “transform our state from one of exclusion to one of complete inclusion”. He also signed a bill that outlaws discrimination based on sexual orientation effective on the same date.
PINK CHOICE applauds Gov Kulongonski and the legislature for overcoming the blocks that have prevented the progress of this legislation from becoming law in recent years. Oregon is the latest state to join Vermont, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, Maine and Washington that have laws allowing either civil unions or domestic partnerships. Hawaii recently approved a civil union measure that Gov John Lynch has said he will sign. Massachusetts alone remains the only state that allows same-sex couples to marry.

Pink Choice applauds Philadelphia street signs promoting the gay district
In a move to actively market Philadelphia to gay travelers, city leaders have officially delineated Philly’s gay district by installing 36 new street signs featuring a rainbow banner. The city’s official gay neighborhood extends from 11th to Broad St, and from Pine to Locust.
Councilman Frank DiCicco said that he wants the world to know that Philadelphia is very diverse, a message that Pink Choice endorses.
As Philadelphia takes a major step to embrace the GLBT Community, we at Pink Choice ask all our members to provide us with reviews of Philadelphia hotel, inn and guesthouse experiences, so that we too can foster the gay community in a city that is positively welcoming us.
