Ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ke Kalana ʻo Miami Dade ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi mua o ka honua, ua hoʻokumu ka Greater Miami LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC) i ka Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program, e hoʻoikaika ana i kāna ʻōlelo ʻo Miami-Dade ma ke ʻano he wahi palekana a hoʻokipa. wahi no LGBTQ + malihini.
ʻO ka Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program e pili ana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka ʻike kāne kāne a me ka hoʻonaʻauao wahine no nā limahana lawelawe hoʻokipa, e hāʻawi ana iā lākou i nā mea hana e pane pono ai i nā poʻe āpau, kahi mea koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi kaiapuni kahi e hoʻokipa ʻia ai nā malihini a pau. Kākoʻo ʻia ka hana e Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Miami Beach Visitor & Convention Authority, The Confidante Miami Beach a me ka Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. ʻO nā hoa hoʻolālā ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka Greater Miami a me ka Beaches Hotel Association a me Miami-Dade County.
"ʻO ka pahuhopu o kēia papahana ʻo ia ka hōʻike ʻana i kā mākou poʻe malihini LGBTQ + ʻo Miami-Dade County kahi huakaʻi komo maoli," wahi a Steve Adkins, pelekikena o ka MDGLCC. "ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻōlelo politika e puka mai ana mai Tallahassee, ua alakaʻi mau ko mākou kihi o ka mokuʻāina i ke ala i ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole he ʻōlelo wale nō ke kaulike, he ala ia o ke ola no nā kamaʻāina a me nā malihini."
I loko o 12 mau mahina, 1.65 miliona LGBTQ+ US malihini mai waho mai o ka mokuʻāina i hoʻopuka i kahi hopena waiwai $1.7 biliona no nā ʻoihana kūloko o Miami-Dade, e like me kahi noiʻi hou e Community Marketing & Insights (CMI).
Hana ʻia i ke kauwela o 2023, ua hōʻoia ka haʻawina a CMI i ka mea i ʻike mua ʻia e ka poʻe o ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa - he mea nui ka mākaʻikaʻi LGBTQ+ i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ia wahi. A ʻoiai ʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe pane o CMI e hoʻomaopopo ana he LGBTQ+-kākoʻo nā kānāwai a me nā kulekele o ke Kalana, ʻike ka poʻe hale hōkele ʻaʻole pono lākou e kamaʻilio wale i ke kamaʻilio, akā hele pū kekahi i ka hele ʻana i mea e hoʻoikaika ai i kēlā leka.
"Ua loaʻa iā mākou nā kulekele e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kā mākou mau malihini i kahi ʻike papa mua," wahi a Amy Johnson, ka luna nui o ka Confidante Miami Beach, kahi Hyatt Hotel. "Akā, no ka ʻokoʻa o ko mākou kaiāulu, nā malihini a me kā mākou mau hoa hana, hauʻoli mākou e hāʻawi i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa Pink Flamingo i kā mākou limahana ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, Paniolo a me Creole."
Loaʻa ma lalo o ka papahana he "mea hana" o nā huahana, nā manaʻo a me nā hana maikaʻi loa e hiki ai i kēlā me kēia waiwai ke hoʻohana maʻalahi a me ke kumu kūʻai. Wehe ʻia ka Pink Flamingo Certification i nā lālā o ka MDGLCC i loaʻa nā kulekele HR i kahi e hāʻawi ana i nā pono like i nā limahana me ka ʻole o ka moe kolohe a i ʻole ka ʻike kāne kāne. Ke hōʻoia ʻia, hiki i ka waiwai ke hōʻike i ka logo Pink Flamingo a loaʻa i kā lākou papa kuhikuhi papa inoa ma kahi pūnaewele i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i nā mea LGBTQ + āpau ma Miami-Dade County.
Me nā manaʻo mai nā hui like ʻole a me ke Kōmike Hoʻokipa o MDGLCC i alakaʻi ʻia e Amy Johnson lāua ʻo Frank Bustamante, ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa 1-1/2 hola e Diego Tomasino, he kumu aʻoaʻo loea i ka ʻoihana like ʻole a hoʻokumu i CoachMap. I loko o ka pule mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka Pink Flamingo Initiative, ua kau inoa ʻia nā hōkele he 30, a ke aʻo nei ʻo Diego i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e alakaʻi i nā kau e hoʻokō i ka noi e hoʻomau nei.
