Welcome!
Interested in joining our community of Gay travellers in creating the world’s best information source for independent Gay Travel? Great! 2002 was our launch year and we achieved our goal of 30 city guides nine months later. Something we could never have done without the help of so many travellers like you who share our passion.

What's involved?
It only takes a couple of hours using our standard templates to create a city guide for a city you know and love. You need to apply here on line, we then provide you with password access, and then it's just a case of filling in the individual sections, either online or, at your leisure, by “cutting and pasting” into the online forms from a pre-written document. You can update and change the information at any time using your username and password. When it is all ready to go, just hit the “Request Activation” link. We then review and, hey presto, it's live on the system. After that, all we require is that you spend a few minutes (every 4 months) keeping the information as up-to-date as possible. Not much, as you will know most of the information requested already. We don't aim to list everything Gay about a city, rather we strive to lead travellers to the best your city has to offer.

So “What’s in it for me?” I hear you cry.
It's not our intention to mislead you, but in the beginning the rewards will be personal, such as interest in travel, desire to promote your town or city and to make contact with other travel crazy Gay guys and girls around the world. Coupled, we hope, with a belief that this site will make a difference for you and for others who follow. As we grow into a major Gay travel resource (far better than the hard copy guides available), the benefits to you of being the officially named writer for the city in question will become far more tangible. There will only be one GTG writer per city, and once your city guide is completed we will send you some business cards and details of how to go about seeking benefits both in your home city and also when you travel to a new destination with the desire to write for that city. (Last year Craig and I went on holiday to Cape Town to write that citys guide and were fêted through out our stay by hotels and tour operators who wanted to be written up in the guide).

One of GTG’s core philosophies is that we will list the best, bars, clubs, saunas and accommodation in town, regardless of whether they support the site financially. We will be putting in place a donation feature in 2003 and will seek to cover some of our costs through sponsorship links, and providing travel editorials to Gay rags in return for publicity. As we grow it will become very attractive for businesses like Gay accommodation, tours, airlines etc to make a contribution to the site for inclusion and feature write-ups.

These things will take time and effort, but our dream is certainly to help Gay travellers / writers gain benefits, such as cheaper travel, travel “educationals” (where Gay businesses invite you to stay at their hotel in order for you to write a review for the guide), and entry into the venues that support the guide. We will work hard to procure and pass these benefits on to you, the city writers.

Still keen? Great!!
