BBC World Service - Business Daily, Tourism cashing in on the ‘pink dollar’

Why the travel industry is trying to attract more LGBT travellers

We find out how the travel industry is trying to attract more LGBT travellers, with countries like Nepal taking steps to be more appealing.

The 'pink pound' or 'pink dollar' is believed to be worth billions of dollars, and tourism is one sector looking to benefit. We find out how the industry is trying to attract LGBT travellers, with countries like Nepal taking steps to be a more appealing destination. 

Plus, we head to the coastal town of Sitges in Spain, where gay people have been holidaying for more than 100 years.
