From luxury stays to new global hotspots, Expedia’s LGBTQ+ Summer Travel Outlook reveals a community driving bold, joyful, and safety-conscious travel trends

May 29, 2025

LGBTQ+ Americans are proving to be some of the travel industry’s most engaged and discerning customers, according to Expedia’s latest LGBTQ+ Summer Travel Outlook. With nearly a third spending over $5,000 annually and taking three or more trips a year, this vibrant community is prioritizing inclusive, high-end travel experiences—from U.S. hotspots like Key West to emerging European gems like Gran Canaria and Sardinia.

Key takeaways

  • High Spend & Frequent Travel: Nearly one-third of LGBTQ+ Americans spend over $5,000 annually on travel, averaging 3+ trips per year.
  • Luxury Preferences: Almost half prefer 4-star hotels, and over one-third choose 5-star accommodations.
  • Top U.S. & Global Spots: Key West, Los Angeles, and San Francisco top U.S. favorites; Paris, Tokyo, and London lead for international city breaks.
  • Emerging European Gems: Gran Canaria (+125%), Sardinia (+110%), and Alicante (+70%) see surging interest.
  • Safety & Community Matter: 39% prioritize safety, and over half rely on word-of-mouth from LGBTQ+ peers when choosing destinations.
  • Chosen Families & Food First: LGBTQ+ travelers often vacation with chosen family or partners, with fine dining and nightlife high on their activity list.
  • Pro Travel Tips: Expedia recommends using the “LGBTQ+ welcoming” filter and traveling in June or late August to avoid crowds and maximize value.
