LGBTQI Campaign 2016

FACTS AND DESCRIPTIONECONOMYFor gay men and women, the average household income is 81 500 USD per year. 40 % of gay men reported household incomes in excess of USD 100 000 per year. 36 % of lesbians reported household incomes in excess of USD 100 000 per year. Gay men and lesbians with household incomes of USD 250 000+ travel more, spend more and cruise more than other gays and lesbians and indicate they prefer places that are restful, luxury oriented, and either mostly LGBT or exclusively gay.MARKET ACTIVITIESOver 55 % of gay men and 65 % of lesbians are partnered or live with a significant other. LGBT business travel decisions were influenced by their preferences and loyalties as an LGBT consumer. Gays and lesbians are primarily booking their travel directly via airline and hotel websites (56%) or through online travel agencies. Direct booking is significantly more important than web-based travel services and so travel suppliers having an LGBT “microsite” with dedicated content is a positive motivator for LGBT consumers. There are specialized LGBT tour operators and travel agencies especially in Europe and North America. EUROGAMES 2016 HELSINKIEurogames 2016 Helsinki offers different possibilities for promotion of products and services for the LGBT market.
