  • Axelbeach Miami-South Beach
    AXEL HOTELS: A DREAM TURNED INTO A VERY SUCCESSFUL REALITY Axel Hotels is the first hotel chain in the world created for the LGBTI community, following a ‘hetero-friendly’ philosophy, where everyone is welcome to visit, stay and enjoy. Spaces at Axel Hotels are designed and developed by and for the gay public, whilst open to everyone. 1 AXEL HOTELS EVERYTHING STARTED AS A DREAM… Juan Juliá, Founder and President of Axel Hotels, dreamed for years of opening a hotel for the LGBTI community, but open to everyone. Hotels with great design, cosmopolitan and liberal places, where diversity and respect are greatly valued. Therefore, it was not a coincidence that the first ever Axel Hotel was located in Barcelona, one of the pioneer gay-friendly cities in the world. Following this example, all Axel Hotels have been carefully located in destinations with a strong presence of LGBTI community. The construction of the Axel Hotel Barcelona, which opened its doors in 2003, was just the beginning of a dream that is now in a global expansion. 2 COSMOPOLITAN HETEROFRIENDLY INTEGRATION DIVERSITY THE AXEL PHILOSOPHY BRAND VALUE AN INNOVATING CONCEPT Free and tolerant spaces where anyone is welcomed, respected RESPECT and valued without any prejudice. Hotels conceived, developed and designed for and by gay people, but open to everyone. HETEROFRIENDLY PHILOSOPHY 3 EXPERIENTIAL MEETING POINT INNOVATION HETEROFRIENDLY THE AXEL PHILOSOPHY BRAND VALUE AN INNOVATING CONCEPT: QUALITY OF SERVICE COSMOPOLITAN WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE More than a hotel, we offer our guests a global experience: many opportunities for leisure, a global lifestyle and a meeting point taking care of the smallest details, to make stays an unforgettable experience.

    Papers The ritual of ideological interpellation in LGBT Tourism and the impossibility of the desire that moves* O ritual da interpelação ideológica no Turismo LGBT e a impossibilidade do desejo que se desloca El ritual de la interpelación ideológica en el Turismo LGBT y la imposibilidad del deseo que se desplaza Maicon Gularte Moreira1; Luciene Jung de Campos¹ 1University of Caxias do Sul, (UCS), Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Keywords: Abstract Tourism; In Tourism, the existing academic literature on LGBT tourism segment have validated market Discourse Analysis; practices and presented, exclusively, as justification for this type of segmentation, the defi- LGBT; nition of an economic profile of these subjects. In this paper, we aim to problematize the Ideology; LGBT Tourism segment based on the analysis of the mechanisms of interpellation of the Desire. LGBT subject as an LGBT tourist. It questions the way tourism products are promoted to LGBT people, often alluding to sex. However, it does not shy away from recognizing the search for sexual pleasure through tourist movements, but only proposes to expose the mechanisms of control of the desire of LGBT subjects through their interpellation as LGBT tourists. To do this, it takes the promotional brochure of the campaign "¡Trae tus Colores!" as the materiality from which four discursive sequences are taken to compose the analysis corpus. This campaign, supported by the Brazilian Tourism Institute (EMBRATUR), promoted Brazil as an LGBT tourist destination in December 2014 in the cities of Madrid and Valencia, Spain. The analysis of the promotional brochure is based on the theoretical and methodo- logical assumptions of the French Discourse Analysis theorized by Michel Pêcheux, who ar- ticulates concepts from three theoretical fields: Psychoanalysis, Historical Materialism, and Linguistics.
