Gay Friendly Campaign Reaps Big Reward For Philadelphia
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/08/081705philadelphia.htm

An advertising campaign that sells Philadelphia to gay and lesbian travelers has reaped huge benefits for the city of brotherly love.

The city's tourism department has found that for every dollar spent in the ad campaign gays spent $153 on hotels, shots and other services in Philadelphia.

"We were surprised to learn that gay overnight visitors spend nearly double that of our general overnight visitors, $233 compared to $101 respectively," said Deborah Diamond, the research director for the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation.
