We're happy to watch the power of GLBT travelers as they change how cities approach their tourism industry. London, always a top destination for gay and straight travelers of all nationalities, has earned its keep as the official #1 destination for GLBT travelers out of the US. PinkNews tells us more in this article, with the very interesting subplot that:

Gays and lesbians are not going to Britain because they might see other gays and lesbians, their motivations and triggers are similar to those of other travellers.

They consider Britain a sophisticated, worldly destination and want to see it portrayed as such. They do not want it presented in a cheesy way.

VisitBritain vowed to change their advertising to feature situations like same sex couples enjoying country walks or traditional British images such as Buckingham Palace guards dressed in the rainbow colours of the gay pride movement.

We already have a number of destination reviews on our London page, and we think that will grow as this great movement takes hold.

Hail Britannia!

PINK CHOICE CONGRATULATES VANCOUVER

If Vancouver is glowing pink, it’s because US gay and lesbian travelers voted it their No. 1 destination in Canada for the second year running according to San Francisco based Community Marketing Inc.

On hearing the news, Candice Gibson, Tourism Vancouver consumer marketing manager, said local tourism operators really understand what it means to be “gay-friendly” by supporting causes important to the gay community, employing gay staff, having sensitivity training for staff and making information available to gay and lesbian neighborhoods and businesses in the city.

Pink Choice is delighted to add its congratulations to the city of Vancouver both on receiving this recognition and for its stand in recognizing the rights of same sex couples to marry. Pink Choice also encourages gay and lesbian travelers visiting Vancouver to post reviews of their accommodation experience to help other members of our community to find the best places to stay.

How reFRESHing

Pink Choice wants our members and readers to know that while we're the best spot for you to submit reviews of establishments, we also have a taste for top destinations. We're excited to have teamed up with http://www.blogger.com/www.refreshlite.com as a contributor to their travel page. The site is an excellent source of info for the gay UK to begin with, and our two cents (or pence) may give another idea of where the hot spots are.

You can check out our latest review of Ft. Lauderdale here, which touches on things we've learned from our travels and our members' reviews, such as:

[Ft. Lauderdale] accommodation is as diverse as the population. Gay and lesbian travelers have plenty of GLBT-friendly choices, ranging from large international hotels to smaller, more intimate gay-owned guesthouses. These guesthouses are dotted throughout the city but are mainly clustered around Los Olas and Wilton Manors. Pineapple Point, Villa Venice and the New Zealand House are guesthouses highly recommended by pinkchoice.com members.

More reviews to follow in the coming months!

We're pleased to see the continuing trend of alliances between big business, travel and the GLBT community, as San Francisco's Convention and Visitor's Bureau and Southwest Airlines announced a new marketing partnership this week that is focused solely on the gay traveler. A $180,000 marketing campaign will launch, with Southwest adopting the tag of "the airline of gay and lesbian San Francisco" for at least a year.

San Francisco continues to be a top destination for Pink Choice members, and we look forward to seeing even more activity with this high profile initiative.
