According to you, do you think GLBT is an attractive market for Thailand?

สิ่งที่ควรพิจารณาให้รอบคอบเกี่ยวกับการท่องเที่ยวตลาดเกย์ และเลสเบี้ยน
ตลาดการท่องเที่ยวเกย์และเลสเบี้ยนนั้นมักถูกมองว่าเป็นตลาดที่ไม่เหมาะสม หรือเป็นมิตรกับจุดหมายปลายทางนัก โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งตลาดเอเชีย และแอฟริกา ที่เข้าใจว่าตลาดเกย์และเลยเบี้ยนคือการท่องเที่ยวเพื่อการหาความสำราญทางเพศ (Sex Tourism) ความเข้าใจเช่นว่านี้เป็นความเข้าใจที่ผิดโดยสิ้นเชิง ทั้งนี้นักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มเกย์ เลสเบี้ยน กลุ่มสองเพศ และกลุ่มข้ามเพศ (Gay Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender- GLBT) นั้นมีรสนิยมการท่องเที่ยวที่มีความละเมียดละมุน มีความต้องการเรียนรู้เกี่ยวกับวัฒนธรรมท้องถิ่นสูง และมีแนวโน้มการใช้จ่ายมาก
ในงานแสดงสินค้าด้านการท่องเที่ยว ITB ที่กรุงเบอร์ลินนั้นได้ให้ความสำคัญกับนักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่ม GLBT อย่างยิ่ง โดยจัดพื้นที่แสดงสิ้นค้าสำหรับบริษัทนำเที่ยวที่เน้นตลาดนี้ โดยมีบริษัท และสำนักงานจัดการจุดหมายปลายทางแห่งชาติต่างๆให้ความสำคัญกับตลาดดังกล่าว และร่วมสัมมนาเกี่ยวกับตลาดนี้จำนวนมาก บริษัทนำเที่ยวทั่วไปนั้นก็ยังให้ความสำคัญกับตลาดดังกล่าว และสร้างแผนกที่บริการนักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มนี้โดยเฉพาะ
ยังไม่มีข้อมูลเชิงตัวเลขที่แน่ชัดเกี่ยวกับผลประโยชน์ทางเศรษฐกิจของตลาดนักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่ม GLBT โดยบริษัทวิจัยบางบริษัทนั้นมีข้อมูลว่ามีมูลค่าถึง 160 พันล้านเหรียญต่อปี และเดินทางบ่อยกว่านักท่องเที่ยวทั่วไปเฉลี่ย 1.5 เท่า คือประมาณ 6 ครั้งต่อปี ด้านการใช้จ่ายต่อการเดินทางนั้น พบว่านักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มนี้ใช้จ่ายต่อการเดินทางเฉลี่ย 2,000 เหรียญต่อปี และ ใช้จ่ายในจุดหมายปลายทางเป็นจำนวนมาก นอกจากนั้นในช่วงการชะลอตัวทางเศรษฐกิจนั้นยังพบด้วยว่านักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มนี้ยังทนทานต่อการหดตัว และการชะลอตัวทางเศรษฐกิจด้วย เมืองฟิลาเดเฟีย ในสหรัฐฯ ลงทุนด้านการตลาดจุดหมายปลายทางดึงดูดนักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มนี้อย่างจริงจังและพบว่าผลตอบแทนการลงทุนด้านการตาดมีมากถึง 153:1 $ โดยใช้จ่ายกับกิจกรรมนันทนาการและที่พักมากที่สุด
นอกจากนั้นยังพบว่านักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่ม GLBT นี้ ยังนิยมกิจกรรมทางวัฒนธรรมที่จัดขึ้นโดยชุมชนท้องถิ่นมากกว่ากิจกรรมที่จัดขึ้นเฉพาะสำหรับเกย์ และเลสเบี้ยน สำหรับจุดหมายปลายทาง และกิจกรรมที่เป็นที่นิยมสำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวกลุ่มนี้ปรากฏในแผนภูมิด้านล่างนี้

From the article said, “GLBT like cultural activities that organized by the local community rather than events held specifically for gay”, it can means Thailand can open markets in this group because Thailand has many traditionally local that can attract GLBT group. However, the majority of GLBT groups are the rich. This target market is important to success in Tourism.

This targeting group has the high distribute and always travel more than general tourist and Thailand have advantage over another countries by the places and many local cultural. This targeting group also want to study in our cultural and exchange the experiences so these people circulate a lot of income to Thailand.
