19 July, 2023

LGTBI+ tourism tends to choose a destination based on how welcoming and inclusive it is. There are discriminatory barriers that affect the way these travellers are welcomed around the world and 87% of Spanish travellers of this profile surveyed say that they must consider their safety and well-being when choosing a destination, according to Booking.com.

When the LGTBI+ community travels in Spain, they prefer above all to visit Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, considering them the three most welcoming destinations. But there are others that are also among their favourites, with Valencia, Seville, Cadiz, Canary Islands, Sitges and Torremolinos standing out.
