There's a growing demand for holidays for LGBTQ+ couples and families who want to travel to somewhere that's both fun and safe.
Toronto may not have cracked the top 10 of LGBTQ+ friendly holiday destinations from around the globe but Canada's largest city did come in at 15 and Vancouver at 17, and has the highest safety index score in total at 383.
As an LGBTQ+ individual, it can be difficult to know where to take your next trip due to laws in different countries and activities that can be done safely. Searches for "LGBT holidays" have seen a 1,000% increase over the last 12 months.
Planet Cruise analysed the top LGBTQ+ holiday locations taking aspects such as marriage laws, safety, and LGBTQ+ activities for all ages into consideration. With the Big Apple is in first place as the top LGBTQ+-friendly destination from across the globe, here are a few of the hotels who are celebrating with special deals all month long.
