Vacationer Magazine informed you about the nominations for the Gay Travel Awards early this month, and today we’ve got the winners! The 2021 Gay Travel Awards℠ presented by GayTravel.com released its list of official winners, which includes Michael and Matt, who won the Gay Travel Influencers category.
The Gay Travel Awards support and promote LGBTQ+ travel and tourism by identifying and rewarding select destinations, properties, events, influencers, and other organizations that exemplify a spirit of inclusiveness and hospitality excellence. These distinguished winners lead by example and inspire other inclusive companies and brands.
Every year, especially now, the LGBTQ community looks forward to The Gay Travel Awards to help inspire future travel. The Gay Travel Awards are akin to The Oscars® for LGBTQ+ travelers.
