#54 – The LGBTQ+ Community’s Impact on Tourism with Dale McDermott

It’s time for another episode of the 4 AM Report, and folks – we’re halfway through 2020! Woohoo!! 🦠🎉🦠🎉 #ByeFelicia

This week, we chat with Dale McDermott, COO of Canada’s LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, about the impact of the LGBTQ+ community on travel and tourism. 

For example, taking Pride 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 and the Pride Parade/Weekend virtual due to Covid-19, while super fun and well attended, left a massive economic hole in its wake. 

How massive? Check these numbers from Pride/Pride Weekend, 2019:

🌈 1.7 million+ Pride Toronto attendees

🌈 $100,000+ donated to charity

🌈 A whopping $374 million to Ontario’s GDP

🌈 $149 million in tax revenue

🌈 And events directly supported 3,392 jobs 

Dale talks about the LGBTQ+ traveler, and why it behooves those in the travel industry to give their marketing a shake, become more inclusive, and tap into what is, year-round, a $12 billion-dollar travel market. 💰💰💰

It’s the power of love, friends! 💞 💘 💞

Enjoy!
