Top US LGBT publication samples the best Cork has to offer

Cork is targeting the multi-billion-dollar US LGBT travel market by promoting itself as one of Europe’s most inclusive destinations.

Journalists from The Advocate and Out Traveler, the biggest and among the most influential gay publications in the US — part of a stable which boasts almost 8m unique online monthly visitors and almost 3m print readers — sampled the city’s offering over the weekend, along with journalists from the UK’s Diva Magazine.

Savas Abadsidis, a senior editor with The Advocate and Out Traveler, said it was his first time in Ireland, and he would be recommending the city to his readers.
