Why the Gay Media?
A decade ago, South Africa was barely even known as a destination worth visiting, now, some years later we are listed as being one of the TOP GAY TRAVEL DESTINATIONS in the world. This dramatic change and growth in the Gay Tourism sector came about through the hard work and relentless efforts of those involved within that market who had a passion for selling the Cape as a whole to the world gay traveller. Of course, Mother Nature should be included here for providing us all with the incredible décor, scenery, climate and other essential goodies that helped to make our job so much easier. We, the South African gay community, without much recognition and certainly no financial assistance from the powers that be in tourism, unselfishly grew Gay Tourism into one of the largest niche markets in Southern Africa!
Many have indicated so far that they DO recognize the buying power of this market but when asked how much marketing they have done directly to this market, the answer is generally NONE. Oddly enough, many advertisers did place advertising in far smaller niche markets, citing that the Gay sector was perhaps a bit too risqué for them. Based on tourism figures, the value of Gay Tourism to the South Africa is now estimated at over R8 Billion P/A and still growing year by year!
