GAY MARRIAGE and Gay Honeymoons

Filed In: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Carlos Melia, Gay Honeymoon, Travel Experts

This morning I woke up thinking… How GAY MARRIAGE, that has just been approved in Argentina, will affect and change the internal travel behavior of Argentinean gay couples.?. Will Gay Honeymoons open a new line of service and business for many to develop and commercialize. Not only that… but also will this mere declaration of equality turn into an important source of business possibilities that will roll a brand new line of services like wedding planners, Show performers,Wedding nights at Hotels, Gift lists among many others specialized into Gay Weddings.?

Also how all this favorable international marketing, that has ranked Argentina among one of the most advanced, friendly and mature countries in the world in regards of gay rights and benefits, will position our region as one of the preferred Gay travel hot spots in the world.

The travel pattern of single, coupled and married gay individuals have been changing dynamically over the years, from the old and traditional marketing concept of DINKS – Double Income No Kids to a more diverse pattern, where gay are allowed to get married, adopt among many other equal rights.

No wedding, gay or straight, is complete without a honeymoon. Interest in gay & lesbian honeymoons has rapidly grown as more countries legalize same-sex marriages. Gay Honeymoon in Argentina will be the new trend and I am already working on it to celebrate the union of two human beings that express the love for each other regardless the sexual orientation and/or gender. CONGRATULATIONS Argentina. !!! • CM
