Eurovision (this year in Malmö, Sweden) is a big motivator for European and other gay travelers

SVT/EBU The world´s premier song contest - and likened by many to a LGBTQ blockbuster event on the order of the World Cup or U.S. Super Bowl - just completed its spectacular 68th edition with the usual lineup of singing, dancing, special effects, silliness and seriousness, pulling in a TV audience of hundreds of millions plus many thousands of fans who flocked to Sweden´s third city from 90 countries (and I´ll venture to say more than half of them were gay). Plus this year there was a degree…

3 of Europe's most gay/LGBTQ-welcoming cities

SolStock Welcome once again to Pride month, celebrated in increasing numbers of destinations around the world - although also under pressure in some of them, sadly even including part of the United States, the very country where the celebration of Pride originated. Of course, depending on where you go, travelling while LGBT+ can be a challenge, particularly if you're with a same-sex partner and/or if you are visibly queer. Sadly, there are still many countries where being gay is still…

LGBTQ+ Danger Index rates countries for both locals and visitors

Just came across a Guardian piece published a few weeks ago with some interesting findings from something called the LGBTQ+ Danger Index, which ranks the world's 150 most-visited countries using eight factors, including legalized same-sex marriage, worker protection and whether, based on Gallup poll findings, it is a good place to live. Sweden comes in first, followed by Canada, Norway, Portugal and Belgium. My adopted country Spain comes in at number 10, but my native country the USA is just…

    Mardi Gras Fair Day is 21 Feb. - but we won't be there representing our worldwide clients. Silly buggers cow-towed to a sponsor who said no promotion of destinations outside of NSW. Mardi Gras not only lost revenue in excess of the sponsor's support level, but they have angered many travel and tour operators, They are members of IGLTA but wouldn't even let IGLTA brochures and members have a stall. What makes it worse is that they did not notify us of the restriction until just weeks before the show, well after lots of preparation and printing had commenced. I personally am boycotting the event.
    This is NOT the first year that there's been controversy over Fair Day stalls, but this one has pissed off more than 100 fellow travel-related companies, all of whom have promoted Mardi Gras to their inbound visitors, as Rainbow Tourism always has.
    What's your thought?

    Most people probably don't think about Israel as a great destination for GLBT travellers but there are lots of great places to see here and amazing people to meet! My travel company works with the community and has gay and lesbian licensed tour guides who know the local GLBT scene inside and out! Love to hear from you!
