It is always exciting to discover new opportunities in life.

I spent the past few days discovering what makes Tel Aviv one of the up and coming 'hot' new destinations for gay and lesbian travel.

Thanks to the people out there I met with, I left utterly convinced that Tel Aviv is set to see a growing number of lesbian and gay travelers keen to discover the new 'in' destination.

What astounded me was the difference between what I usually see reported about Tel Aviv in the media, and what I actually saw on the ground.

Suffice to say that after CNN, Fox and Sky News pack up their cameras and chase their next drama, Tel Aviv gets on with the business of life.

Big business

One of the exciting new developments is the inaugural TLV Gay and Lesbian Tourism Expo - happening next month.

For a miniscule amount of money - travel companies, hotels, airlines, destinations, online booking agencies and more will get to showcase their wares to an eagerly receptive and growing gay and lesbian market over in Tel Aviv.
