GSBA Launched Travel Gay Seattle
GSBA (Greater Seattle Business Association) – the largest LGBT chamber in the country – launched on Wednesday a new travel website called Travel Gay Seattle.
Travel Gay Seattle (TGS) will surely draw LGBT tourists to Seattle. In 2009, Seattle ranked 14th in a list of top travel destinations for LGBT tourists. This year it is already at No. 9. Also, Seattle has the second-highest percentage of LGBT residents of any American city.
By using the said website, users can book flights and accommodations and list gay-friendly hotels and bars. TGS was made possible by the partnership of GSBA with Alaska Airlines, with support from Sound Transit and Seattle's Office of Economic Development (granted $15,000). Also, corporate sponsors include Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Amtrak and American Airlines.
