10th Annual Gay Friendly Canada Guide

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Gayvan.com Travel Marketing has published the 10th annual Gay Friendly Canada guide in print, as well as high and low resolution digital editions, in time for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgendered (LGBT)  travelers to start planning their visit to Canada in 2014.

Marketing to the LGBT traveler has skyrocketed, with destinations worldwide now courting this travel segment, so it is essential to have current resources, social networking connections and the latest technology on offer to attract the discerning LGBT traveler. It has been estimated that the LGBT travel segment represents a multi-billion dollar market worldwide annually.

With this in mind, Angus Praught, owner of Gayvan.com Travel Marketing, reported “Canada has been active and increasingly visible in the international LGBT travel segment since the late nineteen eighties and continues to showcase the destination as an LGBT-welcoming place to visit at various tradeshows, events and in the gay media”

He added, “We decided to create a comprehensive guide a decade ago to complement our marketing efforts and the international recognition created by the legalization of same-sex marriage in BC and Ontario in 2003 and nationally in 2005, also increased interest in Canada as a gay-friendly travel destination.”

At Gayvan.com, visitors can access resources, as well as social media options such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Blogger and Pinterest, bringing together residents, businesses and international LGBT travelers.

Gayvan.com Travel Marketing, has been operating in Vancouver since January 2003, with a focus on reaching the LGBT traveler online and via annual print publications.
