About GLCVB & Community Marketing Inc.

GLCVB co-op marketing packages help connect gay-welcoming destinations and services to LGBT meeting planners, tour operators and travel agents, the LGBT media, and consumers around the world.

Together, GLCVB Partners and LGBT Meeting Planners work to make sure that meeting destinations
and services are genuinely gay-welcoming.

The facts are plain: gay men and lesbians travel more, spend more and have the largest amount of disposable income. Undaunted by events in the news, gay and lesbian travelers make up 10% of the travel industry critically, their travel dollars go to suppliers and destinations who recognize their unique buying preferences and offer them differentiated value.

Community Marketing, Inc. has been helping tourism industry leaders master the subtleties of this market since 1992. Whether your organization is just learning about the market or is updating its strategy, Community Marketing can accelerate your plans, reduce your risks and deliver measurable results. Because gays and lesbians comprise a "slice" of the world's population, you'll find markets for singles, couples and families in every ethnicity. And you'll find a world of diverse interests, everything from rodeo to golf to snowboarding, from outdoor adventure to mega-parties to theatre. Community Marketing's proven, powerful portfolio of services help deliver your targeted markets.

Community Marketing, Inc. has earned its position as the global leader in gay tourism marketing. Through the company¹s tireless efforts since 1992, "doors have opened" around the world for gay and lesbian travelers. We have helped grow gay market recognition through research, media relations and education; and have brought marketing opportunities to the world's leading gay-welcoming destinations, suppliers and travel agents. Community Marketing produces the "Gay & Lesbian World Travel Expo," the "International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism," and the "Best Practices in Gay & Lesbian Tourism Workshop." We also operate the Travel Alternatives Group (TAG) travel agent membership program, and the TAG Approved® Accommodations program; and publish Gay Travel News and the Annual Gay & Lesbian Travel Industry Directory. As we look forward, we see our partnership with suppliers, hospitality leaders, government tourism offices, Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Destination Marketing Organizations continuing to grow, ultimately helping to create a more welcoming "gay-friendly" environment for gay and lesbian travelers worldwide.
