Visitor Demand & Movement
Purpose, journey tasks and aggregate movement patterns
Proposed project
Inclusive City Link™
A proposed project bringing together information on LGBTQIA+ visitor journeys, places, services, culture and experiences to help cities and businesses decide what to improve. It is intended to complement existing city and tourism information systems.
Sam Yot station entrance observed during a Bangkok route survey on 26 February 2026. The photograph provides mobility context; it is not evidence that Inclusive City Link™ has been implemented or endorsed by a transport operator.INCLUSIVE DATA & EVIDENCE
Evidence for better LGBTQIA+ visitor experiences—not an LGBT database
Start with the decision a city or business needs to make, then collect only the evidence necessary for it.
Places & Services
Service information, location, hours and contact accuracy
Physical and Service Readiness
Observed barriers and tested service improvements
LGBTQIA+ Lived Experience / Visitor Feedback
Voluntary feedback with safe aggregation and withdrawal routes
Cultural Capital
Queer cultural assets, community interpretation and reuse permissions
Outcomes & Impact
Baseline, change, contribution and learning with evidence limits
EVIDENCE / DECISION SUPPORT
Inclusive City Link™
An applied LGBTQIA+ visitor-economy evidence layer for district and service decisions. It can complement wider tourism and city intelligence; it is not a competing national tourism data platform. The integration and data-sharing arrangements remain proposed.

QueerHere / visit.bkk.lgbt
The visitor-facing layer: discover places, navigate services and reach relevant offers. Its role in this model is direct visitor access; a discovery listing does not certify LGBTQIA+ readiness, and a live connection to Inclusive City Link™ is not asserted.

From an LGBTQIA+ visitor journey to a city-service prototype
Use city digital infrastructure, digital public services, City Data Platform, SaaS / cloud adoption and digital solution matching as implementation lenses. Relevant Smart City domains are Smart Mobility, Smart Living, Smart Economy and Smart Governance.

What to observe
Observe whether a prototype improves actual service use and informs a local-government decision. Record the service owner, accessibility, operating cost, data safeguards and measured change; a technology installation alone is not impact.
Status and scope
Inclusive City Link™ is an applied LGBTQIA+ visitor-economy use case and evidence layer. It is not an official depa Smart City or City Data Platform product; recognition, collaboration, catalogue qualification and integration are not confirmed.
Responsible data: purpose, permission and access
Do not infer sexual orientation or gender identity from a visit, photograph or transaction. Separate contact details from research responses, use voluntary participation and purpose-specific consent where required, and define access, retention and safe reporting before collection. Avoid public person-level movement trails and re-identifying small groups. Each research activity needs its own reviewed protocol; the newsletter notice is not research consent.
PROJECT SOURCES & STATUS
Where this information comes from and how it may be used
Source basis
This page is the current first-party public concept record. Locations, participating organisations, roles, funding, data governance and implementation scope remain to be confirmed. The hero photograph is a context image from the Pride Economy route-observation archive dated 26 February 2026, not implementation evidence for this proposed project.
Media and reuse
The published photograph has an exact source-file match in the fieldwork register and is authorised for this owner-operated site. Photographer credit remains unrecorded; external reuse requires separate permission.
QUESTION & WORK IN PROGRESS
The question this project must answer
What evidence do cities and businesses need to improve LGBTQIA+ visitor experiences responsibly, and how can that evidence support practical district and service decisions?
Work planned or in development
- 01Define six purpose-specific LGBTQIA+ evidence layers
- 02Support service and district decisions with traceable evidence
- 03Separate visitor-facing QueerHere navigation from evidence access
- 04Confirm permissions, retention, access and any wider-system integration before collection
Status
Proposed project
Still to confirm
Locations, participating organisations, roles, funding, data governance and implementation scope remain to be confirmed.
How to use this page
Use it to understand the project question, scope and status—not as an approved proposal or promise of outcomes.
New evidence
After sources, rights, names and necessary context are checked.
