LGBT tourism is a growing sector targeting the gay community, including bisexual and transgender individuals, offering economic benefits beyond conventional tourism. It emphasizes destinations that ensure peace of mind, non-discrimination, respect for diversity, and secure environments.
This type of tourism refers to visiting places where there were tragedies where many people lost their lives violently, experienced great suffering or there was destruction, desolation and despair; However, the importance of these places is not only due to associations related to death and suffering, but also to their historical value.

Meeting Tourism
It consists of the displacement of travelers outside their usual environment for profit. Normally it is companies that send their workers to meetings, conferences, meetings or exhibitions; These go with the expenses paid and in a way they are receiving a salary for this trip. The conditions of the visited destination are more focused on satisfying the needs of a traveler who demands the best possible services, which range from sets of exhibitions, event rooms, good communication channels, among others.
Sun and beach tourism
It is the maximum expression of mass tourism, since the beaches in the different tourist destinations are the most visited by tourists. It consists primarily of spending a few days of recreation in a coastal destination, naturally with beach and sea, which must have public spaces for this activity. The most common is that tourists stay in luxury hotels and purchase “all-inclusive” packages that allow them to have the least possible concerns.
This type of tourism today is seen as a predatory tourism that does not respect the carrying capacity of destinations.
