The gay
and lesbian travel industry is still young, but is
already sophisticated and well developed. This
market is best reached with a multi-faceted approach
of targeted marketing including outreach to
consumers, travel agents, online gay specific
information services and the media. Utilizing
established direct mail and email, advertising,
Internet and PR resources will effectively reach gay
and lesbian consumers. Destination should
create gay-friendly travel products and market
direct to gay consumers, and to the strong network
of travel agents serving the gay and lesbian
community. |
