The positive social and economic effects of the recently approved “Law of Egalitarian Marriage” (allowing the marriage between people of the same sex), are here. Two weeks after its approval and one after coming into effect we are much more than just a more egalitarian society but also the new Mecca of LGBT tourism in Latin America. Specialists say that the new law will position Buenos Aires as the greatest regional destiny.For some years now, our city has been part of the growing list of gay friendly cities, leading the regional market segment with Rio de Janeiro. Now, it’s expected to become the new center for the so called “pink dollars”. Local segment businessmen salute the initiative which is already manifesting its positive effects on the number of visitors in their different enterprises (from boutique hotels, specialized stores and bars to sailing boats, tango classes, book stores and winery dedicated to this segment).
In the last week, requests for marriage have multiplied in the registries across the city. This growth has also brought special promotions for honeymoons by the River Plate. But not only had Buenos Aires (main Argentine destiny) benefited from the new tourist wave, many provinces limiting with border countries are receiving twice the visitors they used to (from countries like Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia).Argentina improves its tourist strategy and places itself in this new market segment, along with a more inclusive society that grew in the respect of differences and tolerance, which improve us, everyday. Hostel Colonial, as usual, is ready to warmly receive everybody who wants to enjoy Buenos Aires City. For those who know us and recommend us, and the others which wish to share their stay in a peaceful respectful environment, ¡You are welcome!
