How will it affect travel to British Columbia?  Lesbian and gay couples have been visiting B.C. in large numbers for about 5 years, to get married there.<\/p>\n<p>The Sun reports:  &#8220;Tourism Vancouver representative Dayna Miller said Vancouver is considered a very attractive destination for gay travelers for many reasons, not just because Canada has allowed same-sex marriages since 2003.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This decision could have an impact but it won&#8217;t be huge,&#8221; she said in an interview. &#8220;Gay travelers have a lot of compelling reasons to come to Vancouver &#8211; first and foremost because it&#8217;s an attractive destination. Marriage is certainly a key selling feature but it&#8217;s not the only reason to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At least one travel coordinator agrees.
