Orlando a top vacation spot for closeted gay men

Orlando – Orlando is one of the top 10 most popular travel destinations for closeted gay men.

That’s according to a recent survey by MissTravel.com, a travel dating website. They asked more than 5,000 male members who were seeking male travel companions if they were openly gay. Forty-one percent of those men reported to being closeted,then took another poll to reveal their top choices for “down-low” travel.

Orlando came in at No. 8 behind No. 1 Chicago, No. 2 Sydney and No. 3 Maui. No other Florida cities made the top 10.

The press release from MissTravel.com noted that “all cities that made the final cut were gay-friendly destinations that also catered to a heterosexual audience.”

According to GayTravel.com, more than 35 million tourists visit Orlando every year. While Orlando has gay-friendly events year-round, the biggest is Gay Days, the first week of June, which attracts 160,000 visitors and generates more than $600 million in spending.
