Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LGBT travelers are set to get their own hospitality brand later this year with the launch of a new chain catering to the growing market.
New York-based hospitality group G Worldwide intends to build five luxury properties for LGBT travelers across the US in the next two years, the newcompany confirmed this week.
Properties are planned for New York, Florida, California and Las Vegas, the group says on their web page, although their sights are firmly set on the international market.
Described as "beautifully located hotels with uber high-tech facilities," the hotel group is aiming to attract the growing LGBT travel market, as well as "their friends, families and supporters."
The group will officially launch on June 1 at Gay Pride parades across the US, in particular the NYC Pride event, of which G Resorts (and fellow hotel chain W Hotels) is a sponsor.
Further details have not been released on the brand, although the group's website suggests that it is a collaboration between entertainment publicists, music agents and a real estate developer.
Earlier this year, New York developer Parkview said that it intended to build the city's first "heterofriendly" hotel The Out NYC in Hell's Kitchen, now scheduled to open in 2011.
At the time, San Francisco-based market research firm Community Marketing described LGBT travel as a "huge untapped market."
