Nice becomes first French city to earn GayComfort™ accreditation
IGLTA
Share
As an extension of its new LGBT marketing program, Nice once again distinguished itself by
becoming the first French city to earn GayComfort™ certification last week. More than 65 local businesses attended a sensibility workshop and training session held at Nice's Palais Méditerranée Hotel that was conducted by IGLTA European Ambassador Clark Massad in cooperation with Ian Johnson, founder/CEO of Out Now Global and creator of GayComfort™ accreditation. Nice Deputy Mayor Rudy Salles was on hand to accept the official certification along with Denis Zanon, general
director of the Nice-Côte d’Azur Tourist Office. Officers from AGLAE, Nice's local LGBT business association, also were present to provide additional insight and to distribute the association's foldout map of gay and lesbian establishments in Nice. Titled "Nice – Irisée Naturellement" (Nice – Naturally Iridescent), the program is designed to attract gay and lesbian travelers to France's fifth-largest city in an effort to increase its popularity as an LGBT
destination.
