Travel Proud
We filter places, not people. Through our Travel Proud program, we’re helping to make travel more inclusive for LGBTQ+ travelers.
Making it easier for everyone to experience the world
We want to offer travel experiences everyone can fully enjoy. However, our research shows that more than half of LGBTQ+ people have experienced discrimination while traveling. Travel Proud is our way of changing that. Our free Travel Proud training gives accommodation providers a fresh perspective on the challenges LGBTQ+ travelers face. We want to make sure a truly welcoming stay awaits LGBTQ+ people in as many places as possible. That way you can focus on experiencing the joy of travel to the fullest – no matter who you love or how you identify.
These three priorities are at the heart of Travel Proud

Helping LGBTQ+ people travel with confidence
We highlight Travel Proud properties with the Travel Proud badge. These partners are committed to providing extra welcoming hospitality for everyone. When you see the badge, you can be sure you’re booking somewhere you can comfortably show up as yourself.

Helping properties be extra welcoming
Developed with inclusivity experts HospitableMe, our Travel Proud training helps property partners extend exceptional hospitality to everyone. Travel Proud properties have a dedicated representative who makes sure their whole team is committed to providing an inclusive stay for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Using the right language in every interaction
We’re making our platform more welcoming for everyone by making sure we use language that’s inclusive. In most cases, you no longer need to choose a gendered title when you book accommodations. And when you create a profile, you have a wider choice of gender options.
We filter places, not people
With Travel Proud, you can experience the world as all of yourself, no matter who you love or how you identify.
Travel with Pride, all year long
