The founders of www.gayhotelsguide.com have launched a new accommodation website for the gay, lesbian,  bisexual, and transgender market, www.gayfriendlyrooms.com.


Dynamic packaging solutions specialist GoQuo is providing the hotel booking engine behind the site, while accommodation inventory is supplied by GTA / Octopus Travel.


The site will allow visitors to find gay-friendly hotels and other accommodation providers throughout the world, which are identified by a specific gay-friendly logo.


The site also features a social networking element, where users can nominate, rate and describe additional gay-friendly providers.


Managing director David Salvidge said that while the initial focus is on the B2C web site, the trade will be an important sales channel in the future. A B2B service will be introduced in the next few months, giving agents a dedicated link to the accommodation database and option to make bookings.
