Global Report on LGBT Tourism

               A joint project:




          Four UNWTO Member States:
Major participation from businesses and destinations
Why now?

Part of a series of reports on growth areas in
global tourism: the AM Reports
Why now?

Increasingly a target segment for
National Tourism Promotion Agencies
Why now?

An opportunity for UNWTO to strengthen
UN’s global message on LGBT rights
          “We reject discrimination in general, and
          in particular discrimination based on
          sexual orientation and gender identity.
          We have a collective responsibility to
          combat discrimination and to defend our
          fundamental principles”
                             Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General
                             World Human Rights Day 10 Dec 2010
Why now?

Benefit from IGLTA Members’ knowledge,
experience and best practices

Understand the market



“Reaching out to LGBT travellers in an
informed, authentic manner is essential”
Work constructively with local LGBT organizations

More
destinations, more
opportunities
More destinations, more opportunities
Continuing the conversation…

Questions to consider as we move forward:
-   What’s the recipe for success for a destination?

-   How can successful LGBT marketing work at national level?

-   How can LGBT tourism make a positive impact on
    destinations beyond simply spending money?

-   How can gay friendly businesses help to influence political
    climate towards LGBT people in non-friendly destinations?

Editor's Notes

  1. The UNWTO is the United Nations’ specialized agency in the field of tourism. The organization originally started at the beginning of the last century in Switzerland as a group of travel agencies and other organizations from the private sector. In 1975 it was officially located in Madrid and expanded until in 2003 when it gained its status as a specialized agency of the United Nations, bringing together 161 Member States and more than four hundred companies, universities, NGOs and associations from the private sector who are the AFFILIATE MEMBERS. Our Members, ---among whom we are proud to count on the IGLTA- include airlines, hotel groups, universities, training schools, industry associations, charities and more. This makes us quite unique since we’re the only Organization in the UN system which has members from the private sector.

  7. Air traffic is one of thebestindicators of thewholepicture, and this is howit looks
  8. Se proyecta un crecimiento medio (2010-2030) de 3,3%, comparecido con un crecimiento medio de 3,9% (1995-2010).Se prevé una ligera ralentización de 3,8% en 2011 a 2,5% en 2030 debido a una combinación de 4 factores prinicpales:Los volúmenes de base son mayores, entonces los pequeños incrementos todavía suman cifras importantesMenor crecimiento PIB con porque muchas economías maduraránMenor elasticidad PIB-disposición para viajarIncremento en el coste de transporteAún así, se espera un crecimiento medio de unas 43 millones de llegadas internacionales cada año (2010-2030) una cifra equivalente a todas las llegadas internacionales en Italia en el año 2010.
  9. Esperamos pasar el mil millón de llegadas internacionales en el año 2012 (desde los 938 millones en 2010), pasando los 1.400 millones en 2020, 1.500 millones en 2023 y un total de 1.800 millones de ll.ii para el año 2030.
  10. Las llegadas internacionales en los destinos de economías emergentes crecerán al doble (4,4%) del crecimiento de las llegadas internacionales en las economías avanzadas (2,2%). Como consecuencia, a partir del año 2015 se prevé más llegadas en las economías emergentes que en las economías avanzadas, un total que llegará al 1.000 millón de llegadas internacionales (econemerg) en 2030.No obstante, es importante tener en cuenta que existe un margen importante entre el numero de llegadas internacionales recibidas per 100 personas en las economías emergentes y las avanzadas porque la mayoría de la población mundial vive en las economías emergentes (85% en 2010 y 87% en 2030).2010-2030:Econ. Avanzadas: Llegadas internacionales per 100 personas 49 (2010), 70 (2030).Econ. Emergentes: Llegadas internacionales pero 100 personas 8 (2010) 14 (2030).
  11. Asia y el Pacifico ganará la mayoría de las llegadas internacionales: 204 millones, 2010; 535 milliones, 2030.También se duplicarán las llegadas internacionales en el Oriente Medio y África durante este periodo, con un crecimiento comparativamente menor en las Américas. La reducción de cuota de mercado para Europa y las Américas se debe a la tasa menor de crecimiento económico en America del Norte, Europa Occidental y Europa del Norte.
  12. This is thebestindicatorwehave of howbigeachmarket is. States do notusually record wherepeoplego once theyhavecrossedtheborder, butthey are abletocalculatethe total spendingontourism, includingtransport.
  13. Overthepast ½ century,tourism has developedinto a key driver of socio-economicprogress. Thenumber of destinations has expandedenormously, withtouristsnowabletoreachparts of theworldthatwerepreviouslyimpossibletogetto. So expansionbringsthechallenge of competitionformaturedestinations. They can meetthischallengebyproviding a healthybusinessclimate, ensuringtheproperdevelopment and maintenance of theirtourisminfrastructure.
  14. Butjust as thebenefits of tourism as a driver of progresshave emerged, itsnegativeimpacts are ever more cleartoo. This is why UNWTO makesclearthatalltourismneedsto be guidedbytheprinciples of sustainabledevelopment ; «bytakingintoaccountthecurrent and futureeconomic, social and environmentalimpacts of tourism, addressingtheneeds of visitors, theindustry, theenvironment and host communities».

  16. Y hoy, como comenté al incio de mi presentación, me gustaría presentarles algunos de los resultados nuevo informe realizado por la OMT, en colaboración con la International Gay and LesbianTravelAssociation – sobre el turismo LGBT en el mundo hoy en día. Este es el primer proyecto realizado por la Organización Mundial del Turismo sobre este tema, y para mi ha sido un placer liderar este proyecto, precisamente porque, como mis compañeros han comentado, por diversas razones el mercado LGBT está cada vez más visible e interesante para empresas y destinos en todo el mundo. .
  17. Wewantedtotakeyourknowledge and putiton a global platform, and we’reproudthatmemberssuch as (….) tookthisopportunity. Wethinkthere’sclearly more workto be done, and many more opportunitiesformemberstoparticipate.

So whatwerethekeyfindings?Wellthisreportwasprimarilyproducedto introduce and educatethe global tourismcommunity in general about LGBT tourism, as well as toprovideanupdateonthestate of theindustrytoday.
