Last year over one million LGBT travelers visited Greater Fort Lauderdale, spending $1.2 billion, making it Florida’s number one LGBT destination and one of the top 10 LGBT destinations in the United States. Greater Fort Lauderdale offers more than just 3,000 hours of sunshine and tempting “eye-candy” on its beautiful beaches. There is substance here, and lots of it.

Fort Lauderdale is the world headquarters of IGLTA (International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association), and home to the Sunshine Cathedral, the largest Metropolitan Community Church in the country. Boasting more than 200 gay-owned and operated business, Fort Lauderdale continues to grow in popularity as the gay mecca of Florida. With an array of gay hotels and upscale, trendy mainstream hotels LGBT travelers can choose a bed that best fits their style and mood.
