Vancouver Gay Travel Marketing Company Announces Website Launch in Preparation for 2010

Oct. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Vancouver, BC, -- Gayvan.com Travel Marketing has unveiled the newly redesigned website, Gayvan.com, which provides a state-of-the-art travel portal for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgendered travelers, as the Vancouver region prepares to welcome the world in 2010.

Marketing to the LGBT traveler has skyrocketed, with over 70 destinations worldwide now courting this travel segment, and it is essential to have current resources, social networking connections, and the latest technology on offer to attract the discerning LGBT traveler. It has been estimated that the LGBT travel segment represents a multi-billion dollar market worldwide annually.

With this in mind, Angus Praught, owner of Gayvan.com Travel Marketing, reported “Vancouver, Whistler, and the surrounding region are in a position to garner unprecedented international attention in the months ahead, leading up to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

He added, “We felt it necessary to completely redesign our website, in order to be ready for the anticipated increase in international interest.”

At Gayvan.com, visitors can access local resources, as well as social media options such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and Blogger, bringing together residents, businesses and international LGBT travelers.

Praught emphasized that this is a fantastic opportunity for the Vancouver region to showcase itself to the world as an LGBT-welcoming travel destination.
