A local group that wants Nashville to focus on marketing to the gay and lesbian communities. Businesses like Tribe say marketing Nashville to the LGBT community could bring a lot of money into the city. Joey Amato of Outreach Public Relations said he got the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau to help him with a press release promoting Nashville as a gay destination. According to Community Marketing, Inc., the LGBT community spends $65 million a year on tourism. Joey Amato says if he can help Nashville get a portion of that, it would be great for the city.
"I fell in love with Nashville as soon as I moved here, so for me, I try to promote the city in any way I can," says Amato. "So, if I can make a difference in a niche that may not even know about Nashville, that is my goal."
The Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau said it does general marketing because niche marketing is just too expensive, but it supports initiatives like this that bring dollars into the city.
