Welcome to our sandy sun-kissed shores. You are in for some fabulous fun surprises and you will see why
Greater Fort Lauderdale is Florida’s LGBT mecca.
It’s all about size here! Last year over one million LGBT travelers visited Greater Fort Lauderdale, spending $1.2 billion, making it Florida’s number one LGBT destination and one of the top 10 LGBT destinations in the United States.
Greater Fort Lauderdale offers more than just 3,000 hours of sunshine and tempting “eye-candy” on its beautiful beaches. There is substance here, and lots of it. The LGBT community is rooted in history with the Stonewall Library & Archives, the largest independent circulating library of LGBT media. Fort Lauderdale is the world headquarters of IGLTA (International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association), and home to the Sunshine Cathedral, the largest Metropolitan Community Church in the country.
Boasting more than 200 gay-owned and operated business, Fort Lauderdale continues to grow in popularity as the gay mecca of Florida. With an array of gay hotels and upscale, trendy mainstream hotels LGBT travelers can choose a bed that best fits their style and mood.
The charming ‘Gayborhood’ of Wilton Manors is home to Greater Fort Lauderdale’s largest LGBT community and draw for visitors and residents.
With warmest wishes for a sensational stay,
Sunny regards,
Richard Gray Managing Director LGBT
