What does Proud Certification mean?
Proud Certification ensures that everyone travelling to or staying at a holiday property is welcomed and respected. This certification requires properties and hotels to complete an hospitality training session, giving them an understanding of the needs and issues faced by the LGBTQ+ travel community. This helps to ensure that anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, is given a warm and inviting welcome.
Why should I book Proud Certified holiday home?
Research shows that more than half of the LGBTQ+ travel community have experienced uncomfortable or unfriendly experiences while travelling. By booking a Proud Certified holiday home you are helping to remove barriers faced by the LGBTQ+ travel community and supporting a more open world. You can relax knowing that you will be welcomed as your true self.
Proud Certification also helps promote understanding of the issues faced by the LGBTQ+ travel community, such as safety concerns, gender neutrality, and cultural acceptance. By staying at Proud Certified properties you are helping to break down these barriers and making sure everyone feels safe and respected.
How can I find a Proud Certified holiday home?
Finding Proud Certified properties is easy! Many online accommodation providers have set up search filters to make it easier for travellers to find the best holiday homes for their needs. Make sure you look out for the Travel Proud badge when searching, which indicates that a property has been certified as welcoming.
