'Cater to all travellers, including gays & lesbians'- Julio S. Henry
“One of the biggest things that’s happening right now in travel is the gay and lesbian travel,” he declared during the Chamber Talk with BVICCHA’s Chair Mrs Shaina M. Smith-Archer, via Zoom and shared on social media on Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
“[There are] many destinations that would try to figure out how to gain more of that because that is a lot of spending power that we are not really focusing on. So we have to be broad, we have to be conscious of who would come and we have to cater to all of them. So we have to be mindful not to alienate any segment of the travelling public.”
Mr Henry said there are persons in the territory who identify as gays and lesbians “who want to participate in what we have here to offer, but they don’t know if that would be welcomed.”
I agree!- Sharon P. Flax-Brutus
Ex-Director of the BVI Tourist Board and businesswoman Mrs Sharon P. Flax-Brutus said she agreed with Henry’s point and added her voice in support, saying that the topic is one that is always shied away from.
“I think sometimes when I say it, it is misinterpreted. Luxury is not necessarily about the dollar; luxury is the way that an experience makes a person feel, and I think that is what we really need to try to do. And I agree with you, the LGBTQ market we sort of try to shy around it, but they go visit our destination, and I like to say we love all guests.”
Flax-Brutus said she was also in agreement that these persons possess “very good” spending/buying power, and they are environmentally conscious as well.

This is the danger of generalising a whole community based on a few extreme individuals.
Thankfully there are many people who are more educated and less concerned with the personal business of other people to care where they go on holiday. Let’s not forget the disposable income that our community would love to spend in the BVI is only beneficial to you and your family. But if you don’t want it, there are plenty of places where we can happily spend our $$$. The choice is really yours.
A baby is born atheist and is then hoodwinked into believing in one god or another
You need deliverance. The devil is fooling you off you did not born that way you choose to listen to him and become GAY.
She ran out of wool so didn’t make one for me.
Well sa!!!
these so-called god-fearing people. hmm lord have mercy they up and down this island with people man, husband, wife, and girlfriend without shame!

Gays, you live your life, forget about the rest let them talk... GOD is the only one who can judge your lifestyle.
ye without sin cast the first stone!
TALK THAT
Let’s be mindful that everyone is entitled to their opinion and preference.. Just as with everything else, you will not get everyone to agree with a certain lifestyle or way… Money or not.
If one wants to embrace and come up with new initiatives to attract the lgbtq community thats good for them.. Make your money how you want to.

Whether a person is gay or lesbian, they should be treated as a human with rights as all others do.
