Gay Marriage Expected To Boost Travel, Hospitality Around The World

Growing acceptance and legalization of same-sex marriages in the United States and around the globe fuel the travel and hospitality industries and boost spending by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender consumers, experts say.7

Seventeen U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and a similar number of countries recognize gay unions. Last month Scotland legalized gay marriages, joining a list that includes the Netherlands, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa and others.

Although the LGBT community is a small segment of the U.S. population, Charlie Rounds, of the Florida-based International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) Foundation, said the changes in marriage laws will have big implications for travel in the United States and abroad.

“It is going to be an inordinate percentage of the wedding market in the next five to 10 years,” he said in an interview during a visit to New York.

“Even though we are only maybe 4 or 5 percent of the population, the number of us getting married is probably going to be 20 times that because we couldn’t and now we can,” added Rounds, who is also the managing director of U.S. marketing agency OutThink Partners.

Gay couples who have waited years, and in some cases decades, to legalize their unions will be tying the knot and many have the economic resources to pay for large, expensive weddings in far-flung locations.

“We’re getting married at a different place in life,” said Rounds, who wed his long-term partner in a big church wedding.

INCREASED VISIBILITY, NEW DESTINATIONS

Data released in November by Out Now Business Class, a resource website to reach LGBT consumers, showed that in 2014 LGBT tourism spending is expected to top $200 billion for the first time.

The United States accounts for $56.5 billion of the spending, according to the figures, followed by Brazil with $25.3 billion. LGBT Europeans are expected to spend $66.1 billion on tourism.

LoAnn Halden, media relations director of IGLTA, said LGBT travel has increased in visibility in recent years.

“As acceptance of LGBT rights increases people feel more comfortable being open when they are traveling and more destinations are getting on the bandwagon to market to gay travelers,” Halden explained.

Key West in Florida, San Francisco, New York and Provincetown in Massachusetts, which have long welcomed gay tourists, are being joined by new cities, regions and countries.

“The number of people marketing openly has also increased,” Halden added in an interview. “Now we are seeing places like Door County, Wisconsin, marketing to the LGBT community. In South America we are seeing more smaller regional destinations.”

Gay cruises now travel to Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as some Croatian ports, and Asia, Brazil and India are among the growth markets.

Major hotel brands and airlines are also appealing directly to the LGBT community through microsites and advertising.

Rounds said safety and legal protection are still concerns for gay travelers and he stressed the importance when searching for travel destinations to look at their rights on LGBT issues.

“We are demanding visibility and equal rights,” said Halden. “There are a lot of people who haven’t been able to get married and they are queuing up.” (Editing by Eric Kelsey and Steve Orlofsky)

Moesha luring big men with her 'artificial butt' – Maame Dokono

Socialite Moesha Boduong’s only asset with which she lures big men into her bed, is her “artificial butt”, veteran actress Grace Omaboe (Maame Dokono) has said. 

“That girl [Moesha] we saw her, the only thing that she has that she is using to lure these men is the butt but I think even that is artificial”, Maame Dokono told Accra-based Joy News. 

“Would that be there forever?” Maame Dokono wondered, insisting: “It is artificial because I have seen that or I’ve heard that she had to go through surgery for some parts of her body to be pushed back and she’s using that to bluff. Will that be there forever?” 

“I don’t know whether she has children before, I’ve had six children and I’m over 70 and look at my body. You have to keep your body well, you don’t have to let men use your body anyhow. If you don’t have a husband it will be difficult for you to have a husband”. 

Moesha recently became the toast of social media after she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in the ‘Sex & Love Around the World’ programme that Ghana’s economy was so hard to the extent that women have to trade sex to survive.

Dr. Opuni Sues Lilwin

Dr Stephen Opuni, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), has sued Multimedia Group Limited (MGL), owners of Adom TV, for GHS10million for defaming him.

Also named in the suit are Daniel Nii Odoi Tutuwani, a producer at Adom TV and Kojo Nkansah, alias Lilwin, as second and third defendants, respectively.

In the suit filed at the Accra High Court on Tuesday, 24 April 2018, Dr Opuni stated that on or about the 24th day of March 2018, on the prime evening hour of 7pm, MGL and Daniel Nii Odoi Tutuwani caused to be broadcast and published; and Lilwin broadcast and published as part of the very popular programme entitled: ‘Don’t Think Far News’, defamatory words in a mixture of the Twi and English languages.

The suit explained that the defendants showed a recording of numerous metal boxes in rooms which were filled to the brim with US$100 bundles and stated as a fact that these said metal boxes filled with these said notes were found in the house of Dr Opuni.

The suit indicated that when translated in English, the utterances of Lilwn states as follows: “The former COCOBOD boss has his ass on fire. One of the first government appointees to be socket by the Akufo-Addo administration has been hurled before the Accra High Court and charged with causing financial loss to the state. Former COCOBOD CEO Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni and one Seidu Agongo, together, are facing 27 charges. Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni was appointed as CEO of COCOBOD on November 30, 2013. He was the CEO till January 2017, which is four years as CEO. After his term of office, he intended to travel abroad but was stopped by immigration officials at the airport stating that there was ongoing investigation concerning him during his term of office as CEO of COCOBOD, and, therefore, was not permitted to leave the country till the matter has been solved. Also rumour has it that he is involved in some money scandal and building of a house.

From that time till now, investigations have been ongoing. Investigations are being conducted at his house morning, afternoon, evening and midnight to and fro. Again, it has also been revealed that COCOBOD’s former CEO is guilty of stealing state funds and the sum involved is estimated to be US$ 512,000,000 which when converted into Ghanaian cedis amounts to 2.35billion.

There are trunks of money found in Dr Opuni’s possession which are stacked up in a room. These monies are not in Ghanaian currency but United States dollars and also not in smaller denominations of twenty (20) or fifty (50) dollars but in higher denomination of hundred (100) dollars with every one hundred United States dollars (US$100) equivalent to four hundred and fifty Ghana cedis (GHS450.00). This is the second room and it’s packed up like that in about twenty rooms and the rooms have their fans on so as to allow the money have enough air. This is part of the reasons first aid prices have been increased by the DVLA.


In the suit, Dr Opuni is seeking a restraining order to prevent the defendants from further publications of the said defamatory comments.

Dr Opuni is also seeking a retraction and apology on six consecutive times on Ghana Television, TV3, Joy TV, Adom TV, a written publication on the website of Adom TV and Joy TV, together with four publications on the front and back pages of the Daily Graphic newspaper for four consecutive weeks.

You need to be a ‘freak in the sheets’ to keep your man in Ghana – Moesha tells Amanpour

seems Moesha’s troubles won't be coming to an end anytime soon as the actress made a lot more scandalous revelations in the full video of the interview she had with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. 

The Ghanaian ‘jetsetter’ was rebuked on social and mainstream media when she told the CNN anchor that the Ghanaian economy induces young women to rely on married men to make a living. 

“Ghana, our economy is such that you just need someone to take care of you because you can’t make enough money as a woman here,” she told Amanpour. 

The actress apologised to Ghanaians for generalizing her comment but also urged with Ghanaians to look out for the full version of the interview. 

This according to her could calm the hearts of Ghanaians since several media outlets criticised her based on a piece of the conversation which lasted for 1 minute, 25 seconds.

The full video of the interview was released by CNN yesterday April 23, 2018; it appears Moesha did make a lot of ‘outrageous’ comments. 

Moesha did not only mention that Ghanaian women only needed help from men to succeed but she also told Amanpour that the only way a woman can keep a man is to be a freak in the sheets; a reason she is the favourite mistress of her man (married man). 

"In Ghana, we please our men before we think of ourselves. You need to be a freak in the sheets to keep your man in Ghana and that’s why I’m the favourite mistress’’. She proudly said. 

She also said it is a normal practice in Ghana to date a married man adding that every married man in Ghana keeps a mistress, girlfriend and a wife. 

When asked whether she is a girlfriend or mistress, Moesha responded by saying she is the girlfriend but hopes to attain the mistress title soon. ‘’I’m a girlfriend but I’m sure I’ll get to a mistress soon’’. She said
