GaYBOR District was proud to showcase GaYBOR in Historic Ybor City with 20 business and government leaders from Switzerland, Edelweiss Airlines executives, 6 Swiss GLBT journalists, a Swiss TV Camera crew and European TV personalities. The “asked for tour” by the Swiss delegation requested a tour of the GaYBOR District in Historic Ybor City. The night included a European style dinner at Laughing Cat Restaurant and then an Official Meet & Greet event with local Tampa leaders at Don Vicente Historic Inn. Other samplings of the Landmark designated district were at Jose Marti Park, G.BAR, Stone Soup Company, Metro Wellness & Community Centers, TECO Streetcar, King Corona Cigars, Hamburger Mary’s, Honey Pot, Centro Ybor Complex, Bradley’s on 7th and Liquid Tampa.
Many Tampa City and Hillsborough County officials were very instrumental in participating in the “Discover GaYBOR District Swiss Tour”. THANK YOU to the GaYBOR GLBTA Business and Community residents in making these international guests very welcomed to GaYBOR/Ybor City – Tampa!
