Now For The Honeymoon: Gay-focused Luxury Travel Site Launches As NY Marriage Law Takes Effect

In anticipation of July 24 being the first day gay and lesbian marriages are legally binding in New York, Distinctive Honeymoons, a division of Protravel International, has launched the luxury travel service GayWeddingsandHoneymoons.com.

This Sunday marks the first day gay and lesbian marriages will be legally binding in New York State. New York joins four other states in making same-sex marriage legal, along with Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the District of Columbia.

Euphoria swept across New York State as same-sex couples have been waiting decades for this decision.

Distinctive Honeymoons, a division of Protravel International, in anticipation of this moment, launched a luxury travel service www.GayWeddingsandHoneymoons.com

"We feel this is a remarkable time in history", said Donna Keane, Director of Distinctive Honeymoons. "Not only does it allow equal rights for same-sex couples but it will have an enormous impact on New York Tourism," said Keane.

Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg will launch a "NYC I Do" campaign to build on the law's passage.

The new website www.GayWeddingsandHoneymoons.com will feature approved gay-friendly luxury resorts and cruises around the world, as well as a destination wedding guide, connections to renowned wedding planners, and other travel resources. Travel specialists will arrange everything from destination weddings to bachelor/ette parties, honeymoons, babymoons, and anniversaries.

An added service is a Honeymoon Gift Registry for couples who don't need more collectibles for their household. Family and friends can purchase an 'experience' rather than an appliance. Gifts can include spa treatments, romantic dinners, exotic excursions and more. These gifts will help shape everlasting memories.

Distinctive Honeymoons is a division of Protravel International which was founded in 1984 and is one of the most powerful selling forces in the travel industry catering to the luxury market.
