Arrivals and Economic Impact of LGBTQ + Tourism in Europe

Compared to spending of $ 231 Billion by international tourists and $ 630 Billion by domestic tourists in Europe (Statista.com), the turnover of LGBTQ+ Tourism in Europe was $ 43 Billion in 2021 ( AITGL).
How they choose a vacation?
The main sources influencing the European LGBTQ + traveler are the advice and experiences of friends and family along with search engine searches and Instagram. If we look at the main off-line sources we find instead TV programs dedicated to travel, suggestions from travel agencies and travel or LGBTQ + magazines. The choice of destination then falls on three aspects considered fundamental: if a destination is open to the issues of Diversity & Inclusion or how much LGBTQ + Friendly is, followed by the level of care and cleanliness and ease of access to medical and health services.
