(London.CityRegions.com, May 18, 2013 ) London, UK -- Commissioned by les Deux Messieurs, a luxury gay travel companion, research reveals the importance of LGBT travellers to tourism in the UK. After surveying 560 people in the US and UK, the UK was found to be one of the top destinations for gay travellers. The research was conducted by a leading LGBT consultancy, Out Now, for les Deux Messieurs. Most respondents in the UK (71%) stated that they intend to take breaks in the UK more than once in the upcoming year. Another 28% planned to holiday at least 3 times in the UK. Respondents from the US indicated that they intended to visit the UK more than once in 2013. A larger study, LGBT2020, surveying over 5,000 people worldwide and also conducted by Out Now, found that more than half of respondents from the US (61%) would like to vacation in the UK sometime in the next three years with London being the number one European destination. The results from both surveys reinforce the strength of the UK’s appeal as a vacation spot and also show the importance of LGBT travellers for tourism in the UK. Editor-at-Large for les Deux Messieurs, Hugh Wright, explains that the hospitality industry should be aware of the findings of these surveys. It is important to welcome gay travellers so that they have a good experience. Mr. Wright noted that some gay travellers shared appalling stories while the company conducted its research, mainly unacceptable behaviour. For example, being greeted warmly at the reception is important, but if individuals later feel uncomfortable because of the room service attendant, the earlier good deed is undone. This can also be seen when travellers go to the pub or to a restaurant, and the locals are not welcoming. He went on to explain how les Deux Messieurs was created because of the founders’ love of the UK and desire to share it with others. The magazine tries its best to spread knowledge and inspire gay travellers to explore the UK. All the properties that are featured in the magazine have been visited (and stayed in) by a member of the les Deux Messieurs staff. Not only do they spend the night, but they eat in the hotel restaurant, order room service and exercise in the gym to get a good feel for the whole experience. This is in addition to exploring the local area. Using reviews from les Deux Messieurs allows gay travellers to have a wonderful and stress-free experience in the UK. About RestUpHostel.co.uk
