Today recently had the pleasure of meeting up with the remarkable Babs Daitch, known for her impressive career as a le***an tour operator, entrepreneur, documentary film star, and Silver Influencer.

In our conversation, we explored some highlights of Babs' life, including her involvement with IGLTA as both a member and board member. We delved into her journey, including her current endeavors on the film festival circuit with the short documentary "Thanks Babs," created by Frankly Speaking Films.

Babs continues to make waves, recently winning the le***an pie-eating contest for Best Technique, which has attracted significant press coverage locally in San Francisco and across LGBTQ+ media globally. Her engaging content and vibrant personality have solidified her status as a Silver Influencer, with an ever-growing social media following eager to witness her latest adventures.

Case Study: Tourism Marketing Outreach for LGBTQ+ Tour Operator

With the International Gay & Le***an Travel Association's (IGLTA) convention in Palm Springs right around the corner, we felt it was a great time to highlight one of the more recent LGBTQ+ tour operator promotions we've done this year. Targeting an LGBTQ+ travel audience that has shown an interest in both cruise travel AND travel to Croatia, we were able to successfully get this social media advertisement in front of some of the best, most targeted LGBTQ+ individuals who might be interested in just such a luxury yacht cruise.

This should give you a pretty good sense of what we can do with a simple $1,000 budget.
