Voting Begins for Gay Germany - 'We Hope to See You in 2007'

In the German National Tourist Office's third major travel promotion especially for the lesbian and gay community, travelers from Ireland and the UK have begun voting to discover the most popular images of gay travel and Germany.

London, UK (PRWEB) December 10, 2006 -- For the past month, lesbians and gay men have been nominating their favorite images of gay travel and Germany in the MyGayGermany online promotion.

The moment of truth has arrived in the campaign - as gay and lesbian travelers from across Ireland and the UK must now decide which of the nominated images are truly the most popular.

Everyone voting successfully online is automatically entered into a draw for the opportunity to win free flights to Germany, courtesy of Air Berlin and the German National Tourist Office.

Visitors to www.GayGermany.co.uk vote to choose their favorite photo from a wide range of images showing many of the reasons why Germany is today one of the global gay travel hotspots.

For the people who nominated the images for voting the excitement has now begun to build as voting on the favorite photographs is underway. The nominees of the three most popular photos each receive two free return tickets to fly from the UK to one of Air Berlin's eight great Gay German city destinations.

Director, UK and Ireland for the German National Tourist Office, Mr Udo Grebe, said that the GNTO were excited to see what most appeals about Germany to the gay community.

"Germany has so much that can appeal to gay and lesbian travelers," said Grebe. "From festivals to nightlife to all the many reasons to visit Germany like food, wines, museums, galleries, architecture and truly breathtaking scenery."

"We enjoy very much working to welcome the gay and lesbian communities from the UK and Ireland to see for themselves just how much Germany has to offer."

"It is getting quite exciting as we get closer to January 15 - seeing which photos are the most popular. There are many great images that show how much Germany has to offer to lesbian and gay travelers, and we can't wait to see who the lucky winners will be. We wish all the nominees, and everyone voting, the best of luck in the MyGayGermany campaign. We hope to see all of you in Germany in 2007."

Voting continues online at www.GayGermany.co.uk until midnight on January 15, and details of the promotion's conditions are on the campaign website.
