Virginia Governor wants Virginia to be gay dream destination
Quote:
It comes as he announced a range of new LGBT tourism marketing efforts with his LGBT Tourism Task Force – signalling a range of LGBT-friendly destinations across his state, and even launching a rainbow variant of the state tourism body’s ‘Virginia is for Lovers’ logo.
The Governor said: “Virginia is proud to be an open and welcoming destination for every visitor attracted by our scenic mountains and beaches, as well as our world-renowned restaurants, wineries and breweries.
“I am pleased the Virginia Tourism Corporation has created this landing page to connect travellers with inclusive, LGBT-friendly establishments across the Commonwealth.
“Virginia is truly for lovers, and we hope you have an unforgettable experience visiting the greatest state in the greatest nation on Earth!”
The state calculates that it could make big bucks from LGBT travellers, who spend an estimated $57 billion in the US annually.
