The Gay Travel Awards has revealed 2020’s most LGBTQ-friendly and inclusive firms/destinations in the world.
The 23 firms and destinations that have been crowned this year’s winners were selected from hundreds of finalists, confirmed the organiser GayTravel. Now in its fifth year, the Gay Travel Awards mission is to recognise and reward select accommodation/transportation companies in travel, as well as destinations worldwide.
These “distinguished organisations lead by example and help inspire other companies and brands to follow their spirit of diversity and inclusiveness”. They also strive to continuously improve their amenities, safety protocols and service excellence, according to the organiser.
“This year has been like no other. With the pandemic raging across the globe, many travellers are restricted from travelling or waiting for a safer time,” stated GayTravel Chief Visionary Officer Steve Rohrlick. “In the meantime, The Gay Travel Awards give us all a moment to focus on the industry’s best as a prologue to a time when it’s safer to get back out there.”
