Who is this guide for?
Why are there so few LGBT vacations listed on Responsible Travel?
However, at present just a few dozen of these trips are listed as ‘LGBT vacations’. The reason for this is that those we describe as LGBT on our site have specifically undertaken detailed research so that they can provide LGBT travelers with specific information and assurances. This includes on-the-ground research with local accommodations, tour guides, drivers and so on. It’s impossible for any vacation company to guarantee that their travelers will be free of harassment or discrimination, no matter where they travel or what precautions are taken; even in the UK a B&B owner turned away a gay couple in 2008. There will always be exceptions. But the tour operators whose trips are now listed as LGBT friendly on our site have done as much research as they can, and are comfortable that they can share any necessary information with LGBT travelers. Many will have already welcomed LGBT travelers on their vacations, and will have used these experiences and any feedback received to be able to better inform future travelers.
