Rio de Janeiro has just been nominated for Best Global destination!

Rio de Janeiro, September 2, 2009 - Rio de Janeiro has been a magnet for lesbigay travelers since the 18th Century. In 1757 the Portuguese Vice-King invited French marines to attend the first transvestite ball in the Americas at his royal quarters.

Because of its long lebigay tradition ABRAT-GLS and a number of individuals and companies have made Rio an even better lesbigay haven today and as a result of this hard work, Logo, a unit of Viacom's MTV Networks announced, on August 19th, thatTripOutGayTravel.com, its comprehensive travel site dedicated to the LGBT traveler and MTV Network's first stand-alone, travel-focused site, will present its first ever "TripOut Gay Travel Awards."

The awards honor the most stylish, exciting and hottest destinations and services that attract, pamper and market to the LGBT traveller.

Rio de Janeiro was one of a selected few nominated for Best LGBT Global destination!

We are also delighted to see that Chicago´s Zoom Vacations has been nominated as best gay tour operator. Zoom Vacations has been a great promoter of Rio to North American travellers for years. We do urge Rio´s supporters to vote for our Chicago friends as well.

Let's help Rio get this title so that we can keep on improving our products and services to our lesbian and gay patrons!
