Asociația internațională de călătorie LGBTQ + (IGLTA) recently surveyed members of the LGBTQ+ community to gauge their attitudes toward leisure travel in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. Responses came from approximately 15,000 LGBTQ+ travelers around the world, with the largest representation from the United States, Brazil, Canada, France and Mexico.

  • Once global timelines and safety protocols are established, there is a strong desire within this segment to resume travel in 2020. Two-thirds (66%) of global respondents said they would feel comfortable traveling again for leisure before the end of 2020, with September and October the most popular choices.
  • Nearly half (46%) said they would not change the types of destinations they choose to visit after the coronavirus situation is resolved, reflecting a high degree of destination loyalty amid the uncertainty. While 25% of respondents are still undecided, only about 28% said they would change their destination choices.

“Previous studies have shown our community to be a resilient and loyal travel segment with a tendency to travel more than their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts,” said John Tanzella, IGLTA President/CEO. “We wanted to document their sentiments during this particularly challenging moment in time to remind the tourism industry at large that LGBTQ+ travelers should be a valued part of their recovery plans. Messages of inclusion have the potential to resonate even more strongly with LGBTQ+ travelers now.”

The survey also focused on the likelihood of LGBTQ+ individuals choosing a variety of travel-related activities in the next six months, again showcasing strong willingness to travel and the diversity of the LGBTQ+ travel market:

  • 48% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să rămână într-un hotel sau stațiune
  • 57% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să ia o călătorie de agrement intern
  • 34% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să rămână într-o casă de vacanță, un apartament sau un apartament de închiriat
  • 29% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să ia o călătorie internațională de agrement
  • 20% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să viziteze un parc de distracții
  • 21% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să facă o excursie de grup
  • 13% sunt susceptibili / foarte probabil să ia o croazieră
  • 45% sunt susceptibili / foarte probabil să ia un zbor pe distanțe scurte (3 ore sau mai puțin)
  • 35% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să ia un zbor pe distanțe medii (3-6 ore)
  • 27% sunt probabil / foarte probabil să ia un zbor pe distanțe lungi (6 ore sau mai mult)
  • 33% sunt susceptibili / foarte probabili să participe la un eveniment LGBTQ + Pride

The IGLTA Post Covid-19 LGBTQ+ Travel Survey was conducted between 16 April and 12 May 2020 through the association’s global network, including members and media partners, with support from the IGLTA Foundation. The responses came from 14,658 individuals around the world who identity as LGBTQ+.

• 77% of respondents identify as gay; 6% lesbian; 12% bisexual

• 79% of respondents are between the ages of 25 and 64

• 88% of respondents identify as men; 8% as women and 2% as transgender
