Heathrow Airport partners with Gay Star News for LGBT travellers

Heathrow will continue to partner with the news website Gay Star News with plans to support and inform LGBT travellers.

The airport will produce a series of editorial and social media content in partnership with the website to ‘enhance’ the experience of all passengers.

The partnership began in 2016 and the content will continue to be produced by the Gay Star Travel team.

Heathrow’s business lead for marketing, research and insights, Rebecca White, said: “After a successful year working with Gay Star News, we wanted to continue the partnership to offer interesting news, relevant to the diverse mix of travellers we see each day.

“We hope the stories we share make people feel excited to start their travel experience as soon as they arrive through our doors.”

Tris Reid-Smith, editor-in-chief of Gay Star News, said: “Heathrow is one of the most diverse places on earth.

“It’s literally a place where people from around the world come together and it is fantastic Heathrow is embracing the LGBTI part of that diversity.

“As Oscar Wilde said: ‘Travel improves the mind wonderfully, and does away with all one’s prejudices’ – This seems the perfect partnership to share that message.”
