To research this book, the authors traveled to six continents, interviewed nearly a hundred industry experts, and analyzed multiple emerging trends among LGBT travelers. The Handbook of LGBT Tourism and Hospitality is an easy-to-read, practical, and relevant guidebook with a simple goal: to help marketing professionals, business owners, and allied professionals compete in the increasingly competitive global LGBT travel and hospitality industry.
Jeff Guaracino, author of the authoritative book Gay and Lesbian Tourism: The Essential Guide for Marketing (Elsevier, 2008), is a highly regarded expert in LGBT marketing, tourism, and large-scale events. His groundbreaking work in Philadelphia catapulted the destination into the Top 10 most-visited U.S. cities by LGBT travelers. He led the Atlantic City, NJ tourism industry through the seaside resort's most turbulent tourism period, and in 2016 he became president and CEO of Welcome America, Inc., which seeks to enhance Philadelphia's image among travelers and to attract more visitors to the city.
