LGBTQ+ Online Media, Marketing and Advertising

Pink Banana Media was proud to be a part of, and support, the first LGBT+ Tourism Summit in Malta, which attracted the participation of the country's Minister for European Affairs and Equality, the Hon. Dr. Helena Dalli. International experts discussed market developments, new marketing strategies and the economic prospects for Malta, the top-rated country on the ILGA Europe Rainbow Map and Index 2018. The Malta Tourism Authority worked together with ITB Berlin to present the educational event and featured presentations from several IGLTA members, such as Barcelona Turisme, Community Marketing & Insights and Gen C Traveller.

With the world’s largest LGBT tourism conference, IGLTA, being held in Toronto May 9-12, CGLCC is dedicating a Thought Leadership Series session specifically to tourism, and to take an in-depth look at the influence that the sector truly has on the Canadian economy.

Beginning next week, it seems the theme is all about LGBT Tourism!  Starting on May 3rd, the global LGBT tourism industry will be descending upon St. Petersburg, FL for the IGLTA Convention, an incredible event bringing LGBT tourism professionals together from all around the world.  We'll be there, and we look forward to connecting with many of you then... remember the hashtag is #IGLTA2017, and if you're really feeling into it, you can help make May 3-7, 2017 become an IGLTA #GayTravel hashtag takeover!!!

Jeff Guaracino, 45, will become president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia on Oct. 29.

The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau is a trailblazer in GLBQT tourism and marketing.

Fort Lauderdale tourism—which has been courting lesbian and gay visitors for decades—on New Year's Eve will roll out a new campaign that could be a first in the travel category, with transgender models starring in mainstream media ads.
