The total value of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) tourism market spend continues to grow year on year. Yet many travel industry providers struggle to understand what they need to do to capture their share of this growing market opportunity.
Here is the link to the presentation slides for the Out Now Global LGBT Marketing Masterclass at WTM 2011 - and these are the presentation slides on Brazil presented by Mr Marco Lomanto of EMBRATUR.
In this 90 minute Masterclass presented by LGBT marketing specialists Out Now Global, you will learn what you need to know to better position your business to capture the attention - and the spending - of this significant consumer group.
