Top 5 Safest Global Urban Neighborhoods for LGBTQ Travelers

GeoSure has launched the first-ever neighborhood-level LGBTQ Safety ratings category on its award-winning smartphone app. LGBTQ travelers will — for the first time — have unlimited access to real-time safety ratings on more than 30,000 neighborhoods worldwide. Using this technology, GeoSure has also announced the ‘Top 5 Safest Global Urban Neighborhoods for LGBTQ Travelers.’

GeoSure is available on the App Store and Google Play. GeoSure’s LGBTQ Safety category rates the “likelihood of harm or discrimination against LGBTQ persons or groups and level of caution required at location.” 

GeoSure’s easy-to-use interface provides safety ratings ranging from 1-100 — the lower the score, the safer the neighborhood. Utilizing machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), sentiment analysis and predictive analytics, GeoSure compiles ratings based on analysis of thousands of sources daily to provide and continuously update its suite of comprehensive travel safety solutions.
