LGBT Travel

"Gay Tourism"

In recent years, gay or LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) tourism has developed significantly in Western countries. In fact, many countries now have travel agencies and other specialised structures for LGBT travellers. This makes sense given that the homosexual clientele is said to travel the most, the longest, and spend the most on holidays.
