Gay travelers: Taking more trips, seeking bargains

Gay travelers in the U.S. have increased their travel in the last year, compared to the year before. That is one the key findings in the 16th Annual Gay & Lesbian Tourism Study released this week by Community Marketing, Inc.

The new study also found that LGBT travelers are twice as likely to describe themselves as an “economy/budget traveler” than a “luxury traveler.”

The entire report, which includes listings of top destinations for LGBT travelers, is available here.
