Using Gay Travel Links
Mission
The mission of Gay Travel Links is to provide an
efficient, clear and honest gateway to information useful to
the gay traveler.
Independent Gay Travel
By far the most common type of gay travel is the independent variety, where
you choose a gay-friendly destination and then make your own arrangements
for accommodations, flight, car rental, day trips and so on. You may choose
to stay in an-all
gay hotel
or
guesthouse
or in a friendly mainstream hotel convenient to the gay area.
Gay Travel
Links can be a great time saver in the independent vacation planning
process. If you're not sure where to go, try our Vacation
Ideas or Event
Calendars pages for some vacation ideas.
If you know where you'd like to travel, check out our Destinations pages
for
links
to travel
information
sources,
both
gay and mainstream.
For your convenience, we also link to mainstream
online travel services like
Expedia and Travelocity since these can be very handy, particulary
for booking flights.
Gay Group Tours
Many tour companies arrange escorted trips for smaller groups of
gay men and women. Some of these trips are gay-only while others
take the form of a gay
group travelling within a somewhat larger mainstream group. Since these experiences
are quite different, it's important to determine which type you are dealing
with before booking. Some people love to travel in groups
and others despise it; whether you are suited to group travel
depends on your personality. Gay Travel Links notes
companies that offer
group
tours to particular
places on our Destinations pages.
Super-Gay Vacations
Some gay tour operators will book a beach resort or a cruise ship for a week
in order to create an all-gay vacation experience. These trips tend
to be
very social with lots of entertainment and parties in addition
to relaxing times pool or ocean-side. Atlantis Events
and RSVP Vacations are the largest of this type of tour operator. Check one
of the Vacation Calendars for super-gay vacations.
