 About Us

 

Gayvan.com Travel Marketing is a Vancouver-based company, with extensive connections in the international LGBTQ+ travel segment. We are also well connected locally, regionally and nationally, in Canada's LGBTQ+ communities, and are active in the mainstream business and travel industry within Canada and beyond. Gayvan.com has been online since 1999 and Gayvan.com Travel Marketing was launched in January, 2003. 

Our website is an extension of our experience, with over 35 years of hotel and bar management, sales and marketing, web design, event production and publishing. Regularly updated information provides an interactive resource for consumers, travel agents, travel industry providers, and those wanting to reach the LGBTQ+ community.

In addition to our mobile-friendly, interactive web site, we produce two full colour, annual publications, in multi-media formats; our Gay Friendly Vancouver - In Town Guide and our Gay Friendly Canada publication. Visitors can pick up free copies at Little Sister's Book & Art Emporium, various outlets in Davie Village, and at major hotel Concierge desks throughout downtown. To see current digital editions of our guides on any device, you can browse the online digital Flip-Book editions, our Downloadable PDF versions, or the Kindle e-book editions on Amazon.

We also offer consulting services for organizations wanting to explore ways to further reach out to LGBTQ+ travelers and consumers. We will be happy to discuss details further on request. Feel free to give us a call, or send us an email.

We are long-standing members of IGLTA, Destination Vancouver, GETA, the Vancouver Pride Society, and a number of other LGBTQ+ and tourism industry-related organizations.

We also regularly participate in Social Media, maintaining two active Twitter accounts, as well as Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Blogger, and more. 


PRESS

We are often contacted by a variety of mixed media outlets and journalists, for information on Vancouver, and Canada, as well as our views on events and topics of interest related to the LGBTQ+ community. We also work closely with our partners in tourism, to co-host visiting LGBTQ+ journalists interested in a community perspective.
