Spain continues to grow as top destination for gay travellers

Spain continues to grow as top destination for gay travellers | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it
Between Sitges, Ibiza and Gran Canaria, Spain has long been known as one of the most popular international locations for gay travellers.
Matt Skallerud's insight:

Just how popular though has been made clear by new research which reveals the importance to Spain of the powerful ‘pink pound’. While tourism has been booming in the country in general with a 12% growth in 2015, gay tourism has seen even more spectacular growth with an estimated 28% increase last year.

Spain’s Best Small Towns for a Weekend Getaway | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

Whether a local dish, a historic monument or simply the charm of an easy & simple way of life, these small Spanish towns are definitely worth your time & energy


Via Fabrice Tasendo
Matt Skallerud's insight:

Spain is a country of pueblos, or small towns, and many Spaniards spend their holidays going back to these villages where their families are from, getting fascinating glimpses into a history of a time gone by. Though small in size and population, they each have their own unique features making it worth the effort it may take to get there.

The Best Places for Gay Holidays

The Best Places for Gay Holidays | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it
A round-up of some of Europe's (and the world's) best gay destinations for holidays and other adventures.

Travel is travel, yes. But this year I’ve also realized just how many of my own trips and experiences are almost certainly chosen because of my own sexual preference. Where I’ve traveled to isn’t necessarily anything to do with the fact that I’m gay, I guess, but these are the places that I’ve found that are actually great for other gay travelers like myself—either solo or for gay couples. I never thought I’d be the guy who ended up going to (and actually enjoying!) stereotypically gay destinations, but hey, here I am. Over the past year, I’ve just realized that I like to travel to places where other gay travelers tend to migrate to. I’m all for venturing out to further places, but every now and then, I just need a gay holiday…
