BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

How to Engage the LGBT Traveler

Once you have made the decision to target the LGBT market, and have taken the necessary steps to become market ready (see my last article), you now have the challenge of building LGBT customer engagement.

It is important to point out that, until now, I’ve been referring to the LGBT traveller as one homogenous market. You need to keep in mind that this is not actually the case; this market is comprised of a variety of segments. There are various ways that you could segment the broader LGBT market, such as by age, family composition, experiential, and so on. Ultimately, for any successful strategy and execution, you need to clearly identify your core target segment and have a firm understanding of their specific travel habits and motivators.

Following is a variety of insights that will assist as you work on building your LGBT customer base and long-term loyalty.

Sourcing of Travel Information

Understanding how and where the LGBT traveler is obtaining information for their travel planning and booking will impact where you focus your marketing activities. Knowing what media your chosen market segment uses, for example, will obviously influence how and where you advertise.
