Gay & Lesbian

Gays When it comes to celebrating individuality, few festivals do it up like Gay Pride parades. While Gay Pride is one of the hottest times for alternative couples to travel the nation and seek out the best gay and lesbian festivals, year-round gay travel has provided a boost in the travel industry.

Today’s gay travel market has rebounded since the industry overall took a hit in 2001, and niche-specific travel has helped keep the U.S. travel market afloat.

Today, more hotels, tours, cruises and online travel agents are appealing to gay travelers by offering packages uniquely created for a gay lifestyle.

As gay travel has increased in the U.S. marketplace, however, planning a safe and friendly gay-friendly vacation is equally as important as picking the perfect destination. In an effort to ease the worry, Cheapflights consulted some gay travel experts for tips on planning the perfect gay vacation.

There’s never a bad time to travel, but if you’re eager to explore the world with other gay travelers it’s important to know the peak and off-peak seasons at prime destinations.

If you’re traveling for Gay Pride Festivals this year, the options are endless. The top cities for Gay Pride include Miami, Montreal, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Provincetown and Key Lesbians West.
