The Quincy here was recently approved as a (Community Marketing’s Travel Alternative Group) TAG recommended hotel.
TAG is a decade-old program that assists hotels in appropriately serving and reaching the gay and lesbian community. Less than 4 percent of hotels in the D.C. metro area have been approved as TAG recommended hotels. Any LGBT or LGBT-welcoming accommodation may participate as long as the property meets TAG’s acceptance standards. Most travel guides list any hotel or attraction that pays an advertising fee, but TAG takes it a bit further by launching an all-out effort to qualify travel businesses based not only on their desire for gay travel revenues, but on their employment policies, services and support returned to the LGBT community.
