Voting is open now! GayTravel.com just revealed the nominees for the Gay Travel Awards! Now in their sixth year, the Gay Travel Awards support and promote LGBTQ+ travel and tourism by identifying and rewarding select destinations, properties, events, influencers, and other organizations that exemplify a spirit of inclusiveness and hospitality excellence.
“This year is another difficult year for travelers. With the pandemic ebbing and flowing across the globe along with the newest variants, many are restricted from traveling or are waiting for a safer time,” said Steve Rohrlick, Chief Visionary Officer, GayTravel. “The Gay Travel Awards affords us all a moment to focus on the industry’s best as a prologue to getting back out there.”
GayTravel connects the LGBTQ+ community with gay-friendly destinations, hotels, cruises, tours, events, entertainment, attractions, clubs, and restaurants worldwide. Their mission is to provide the community with safe, welcoming, and curated recommendations to ensure that every vacation is both pleasurable and memorable.
Vacationer Magazine is excited because that a few LGBTQ+ influencers nominated this year in the “Gay Travel Influencers” category have also been featured as a Vacationer of the Week, including Barry Hoy (@asianmapleleaf), Kirstie Pike and Christine Diaz (@onairplanemode_), Stefan Aretis and Sebastien Chaneac (@nomadicboys), and coming up soon, Shanna and Gabi (@27travels). Congrats to them and all the nominees!
