Mardi Gras were already looking ahead, announcing the news that 4,000 travelers will be visiting for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2015 festival.
Fabulous Australian icon and upcoming contender in season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Courtney Act, welcomed travel agents and media at a special event at the W Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles where Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras CEO Michael Rolik and Atlantis Events CEO Rich Campbell announced the new venture.
At a time when America is coming out of one of its coldest winters in history, the news that an Atlantis Events cruise ship and Olivia cruise ship would be in sizzling Sydney around Mardi Gras time warmed the hearts of many. The exciting new initiative marks the first time in history that two gay and lesbian cruise ships have docked on our shores in Sydney and boy ‘o’ buoy this party is going to be huge!
Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras CEO Michael Rolik says “An influx of 4,000 people at Mardi Gras time in 2015 is incredibly thrilling. The impact that this will have on not just the scale of our 2015 celebrations, but also the NSW economy, is huge.”
The world’s largest company dedicated to creating unique vacations for the gay and lesbian community - Atlantis - announced that tickets are on sale now. The cruise will take place over 12 days, from Auckland to Sydney for Mardi Gras, then back again. As an extra incentive for travel agents, Mardi Gras is offering commissionable tickets to their key events in 2015. Olivia - the travel company for lesbians, have already started selling their tickets
Sydney’s iconic Mardi Gras is the most colourful gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex celebration in the world attracting over 29,000 visitors each year.
