LAS VEGAS, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GayTravel.com — a trusted resource for LGBT+ travelers across the globe — today announced the launch of Let's get OUT there! ^SM

Let's get OUT there! is an initiative created to inspire LGBT+ travelers to explore fabulous destinations, seek out enriching events, and harness the collective buying power of gay travelers across the globe for the benefit of the LGBT+ community.

GayTravel Chief Visionary Officer Steve Rohrlick said: "While it is widely touted that the annual global LGBT+ travel market is valued in excess of $200 billion — Let's get OUT there! will not only identify select destinations and events around the globe that will inspire travelers to visit — it will also harness the collective buying power of this market for the benefit of the community itself by negotiating exclusive discounts and/or access to VIP experiences offered by select corporate travel partners."

Patty Sheehan, Orlando's first openly gay elected official, said it best: "We will not be silenced. We will not be made to go away."
