TravelGay.com has always been the world’s most visited LGBT travel website with millions of visitors every year. We launched the TravelGay Approved program in order ensure that our visitors can find a selection of high quality venues and hotels that we actively work with to ensure they are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.

There are still lots of countries where it’s illegal to be LGBTQ+. Many countries still criminalize people based on their sexual orientation, their gender identity or who they love. Until everyone is treated equally in every corner of the globe there is still more work for us as a community to do.

TravelGay Approved is only open to venues and hotels that demonstrate actively that they are welcoming to the community and work with the team at TravelGay.com.
