Being both a travel advisor and part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know the importance of feeling genuinely welcome when traveling. But beyond comfort, it’s about ensuring our journeys reflect our values and support the communities we care about. That’s why I work with Preferred Pride, a network of over 150 hotels and resorts worldwide committed to creating inclusive and affirming spaces for LGBTQIA+ travelers.

Preferred Pride properties go beyond surface-level hospitality. They actively center LGBTQIA+ people in their practices and give back to the community through:

• Commitment to an LGBTQIA+-welcoming and inclusive workplace
• LGBTQIA+-specific diversity training for employees and associates
• Charitable, volunteer, and partner support for the LGBTQIA+ community

By choosing to stay at these properties, you’re helping to cultivate spaces that prioritize equity and inclusivity while directly supporting LGBTQIA+ communities.

Why It Matters

I know firsthand how vital it is to feel not just accommodated but truly respected. Preferred Pride hotels ensure that their commitment to inclusion is not just a slogan, but a set of actions. These properties work closely with local organizations and communities, contributing to real and lasting change.
