A new organization called LGBT Hawaii Tourism Association has signed up 40 key stake holders in Hawaii to organize and represent the growing LGBT Travel and Tourism Market to Hawaii.

A spokesperson for the organization says: “It’s about business, it’s about getting organized, it’s about making Hawaii an even more attractive destination for the LGBT visitor.

Our goal is to get 50 stakeholders on board and start our new initiative. We hope the Hawaii Tourism Authority will eventually support our effort.

Activities include research, marketing, outreach and of course generating business for our State and our members.

LGBT travelers are high spending vsitors and have a global perspective – exactly what Hawaii needs.”

“We will be working with local and national tourism representatives, research and PR companies, internet experts, media and of course tourism stakeholders. Stakeholders should include hotels, vacation rentals, B&B, airlines, cruise-lines, ground transportation, restaurants, bars, wedding planners, MICE planners, convention organizers, cultural venues, entertainment, attractions and of course travel agents and tour operators.”

Our website lgbthawaii.com is under construction. Our goal is to make our website home for all initiatives in the LGBT community, not only travel and tourism. There is no charge to join and everyone interested in LGBT Travel to Hawaii should register.
