Expands to Include Seattle</B></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT face=Verdana><BR>Scores of travel
exhibitors from around the world are expected at the Gay & Lesbian World
Travel Expo series in seven cities across North America this year, demonstrating
an industry segment that has not only survived economic challenges, but has
thrived. <BR><BR>"In today's very uncertain travel industry, gay tourism is
again attracting attention as one of the most viable and resilient markets,"
said David Paisley, Production Manager of the Gay & Lesbian World Travel
Expo division of Community Marketing, Inc.<BR><BR>Attendees have the opportunity
to meet exhibitors from gay travel companies such as Atlantis Events and RSVP,
popular gay-friendly destinations such as Montreal, Palm Springs and
Switzerland, plus airlines, cruise lines, hotels, rental car companies,
gay-friendly tour operators, travel agencies and more during the exciting 4-hour
gay world tour.<BR><BR>"We're delighted with our 2005 Expo schedule. By
scheduling Expos during events such as Black and Blue in Montreal and Orlando’s
big gay event in June, people that live in smaller cities and rural areas will
have a chance to see just what the world of gay travel has to offer." Paisley
said, "Our goal is to bring a rich, fun, educational opportunity to gay and
lesbian travelers, and the National AIDS/HIV Nightline raffle gives something
back to our community."<BR><BR>Sponsors of the 2005 series include The Out
Traveler, American Airlines, and TAG (the Travel Alternatives Group).<BR><BR>The
Gay & Lesbian World Travel Expo series will visit seven cities across North
