Here are the winners of the 2022 Gay Travel Awards
GayTravel.com has revealed its list of official 2022 winners for its Gay Travel Awards.
The goal of the awards is to support and promote LGBTQ+ travel and tourism by identifying and rewarding select destinations, properties, events, influencers, and other organizations that exemplify a spirit of inclusiveness and hospitality excellence. These distinguished winners lead by example and inspire other inclusive companies and brands.
Identifying these queer-inclusive places is so important for LGBTQ+ consumers since, unfortunately, we still have to take our security into account when planning our travel. These awards, if anything, provide a signifier that members of our community have vetted these destinations and properties for us, providing peace of mind when making a reservation. This is especially important as travel continues to boom in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
GayTravel founder Steve Rohrlick said: “Once again, this year has been a challenging one for travelers. With the pandemic ebbing and flowing across the globe and the uncertainty related to the latest variants, many are restricted from traveling or waiting for a safer time. The Gay Travel Awards affords us all a moment to focus on the industry’s best as a prologue to getting back out there.”
