It doesn’t feel like we’re moving forwards in terms of inclusivity.
Transgender people are the most discriminated against
Even once holidays have been booked, 63% of transgender travellers have cancelled a holiday after learning that a destination doesn’t support those from the LGBTQ+ community.Once abroad, many LGBTQ+ people don’t feel safe to be themselves with 62% admitting that travelling abroad has impacted how they present themselves in terms of clothing and make-up when travelling, and 75% of transgender travellers not feeling safe to present as who they are.
In fact, 82% of UK LGBTQ+ travellers feel more comfortable travelling due to the increased inclusivity of the UK travel industry and, in more hopeful news, this rises to 87% for genderfluid and genderqueer travellers.There is still a lot of room for improvement, though. Only 15% of respondents had ever been offered LGBTQ+ guidance when booking holidays, but 36% of respondents would like to receive information on the LGBTQ+ status of the location – this rises to 51% for transgender people.
