Kayak makes travel planning easier with LGBTQ+ community hub
A fresh Kayak travel center established by LGBTQ+ individuals offers queer-affirming guidance along with helpful suggestions and essential attractions for travelers. Olivia Palamountain provides coverage on this development.
Travel comparison website Kayak has launched a specialized online center created by and for the LGBTQ+ community of travelers who are organizing trips within their own country or abroad.
Now accessible on this website, the platform is ready to assist the community by providing extensive details on LGBTQ+-inclusive places to visit, upcoming events, and places to stay. It also offers valuable advice and helpful guides to ensure pleasant and safe journeys. Moreover, you can find listings of the finest LGBTQ+ events and festivals worldwide, including Pride celebrations.
According to Equaldex, the top ten nations that are regarded as desirable destinations for LGBTQ+ tourists are: Canada, Uruguay, Malta, Chile, Mexico, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Brazil, and the United States.
Jason Brillon, the person in charge of communication for Kayak's Pride employee resource group, underscores the significance of taking extra safety measures while traveling for the LGBTQ+ community. He expresses, "Although society has become more open and inclusive, the sad truth remains that individuals belonging to the LGBTQ+ community, myself included, must still adopt additional precautions to ensure a secure and pleasant holiday experience.
Kayak's fresh LGBTQ+ travel center merges informative facts and precautionary advice with must-visit global occasions and locations to establish an essential all-inclusive resource for knowledge, details, and motivation.
Created in strong partnership with Kayak’s Pride ERG team, the platform endeavors to forge an inclusive and embracing environment for LGBTQ+ explorers.
Additionally, you will find personal anecdotes and guidance from notable individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. If you wish to share your travel suggestions, videos, or pictures with the travel hub community page, feel free to reach out to Kayak via email at [email protected].
