ACOGAT was born in 2016 with the need to boost LGTBIQ+ tourism in Torremolinos, which had declined and had been overtaken by other gay friendly destinations, both in visits and overnight stays. The restless and courageous entrepreneurs of that time, who were also faced with the economic crisis that Spain was suffering, began to organise themselves until finally in that same year they constituted themselves as an Association. The restless and courageous entrepreneurs of that time, who were also faced with the economic crisis that Spain was suffering, began to organise themselves until finally in that same year they constituted themselves as an Association.
The main objective of ACOGAT was to unite the LGTBIQ+ business network, which did not have a meeting and support point for the growth of their businesses.
Torremolinos, which since the 60’s has been a municipality recognised outside our borders as the cradle of freedom and respect for LGTBIQ+ rights, with a very marked DNA for national and international tourists who have never left Torremolinos despite the difficult economic times.
These entrepreneurs projected with their businesses a new destination that has not stopped renewing itself over the years, aiming at quality service, taking care of the tourist and integrating the LGTBIQ+ collective with the rest of the citizens of the municipality. Thanks to this enormous effort, it began to be an interesting city to invest in, attractive to continue increasing the offer that has been completed over the years until it has become a leading destination, once again known throughout the world, with a projection of global expansion that it grows every day.
