LGBT+ travellers represent a major opportunity for our Canadian tourism industry.
They outspend their mainstream counterparts at 7x the average trip expense. They rebound faster after industry shocks, being among the first segment to recover post-9/11 and SARS. And right now, 90% of them are seeking travel opportunities within Canada.
They are after many of the travel experiences you likely already have to offer, but they value one thing significantly higher than their mainstream counterparts: their safety.
In order to welcome the lucrative LGBT+ Canadian travel market, there is work to do to ensure these travellers’ comfort and wellbeing.
So, what’s the first step?
Before engaging these communities, you need to prepare to welcome them into a safe space. This means ensuring your destination recognizes gender and sexual diversity and has meaningful practices in place to ensure LGBT+ travellers have an inclusive and positive experience with you.
Luckily, CGLCC, in partnership with Tourism HR Canada, has designed a number of training and educational tools to get you started on the right track – and ready to boost your business.
