• WinterPRIDE success helps B.C. reverse gay travel downturn Early reports from Whistler’s WinterPRIDE gay ski week earlier this month show a significant attendance jump compared with last year. Organizers on February 22 estimated that about 3,000 people from 28 nations visited Whistler for the event between February 3 and 10. That compares with about 2,500 last year. Most of the visitors are from the U.S. West Coast and western Canada, according to WinterPRIDE. The event’s success is likely partly due to better snow conditions this year than it has for many years. The success also comes as gay tourism insiders fear that Vancouver and B.C. are losing market share in the lucrative gay tourism market. LINK: Click Here For Article

It's happening in cities coast to coast and the idea is simple - select a traditionally straight restaurant, bar, club, or event space and throw a big gay party.

• Diversifying Markets: The Gay & Lesbian Opportunity The hotel industry, and the tourism industry in general, has changed dramatically over the last several years. Everything from war, terrorism, the economy, and a variety of other negative travel influences have made the industry much more volatile and challenging than ever before. The increasingly competitive nature of the hotel industry has made the fight for market share even tougher, and hotels have started to see the need to find new ways to grow that diminishing share by ensuring differentiation.
