Puerto Vallarta Among World’s Top 10 Safest Destinations for LGBTQ+

The legacy of respect for diversity that Puerto Vallarta has permanently adopted has once again been recognized by Global Travel Industry News, which places the city in the top 10 of the safest and most respectful destinations for the LGBTQ+ community at an international level.

Travel restrictions have begun to ease and tourists are beginning to look for new adventures, among them the gay community, who must also take into account the security and legislation problems in some destinations around the world, as homosexuality is still illegal in 69 countries.

To ensure that the LGBTQ+ community feels safe and comfortable when traveling, travel industry experts in the United States chose the 10 best gay friendly cities for vacationing, ranking the destinations through factors that include safety index for the segment, incidences of discrimination, events, bars and nightclubs for the community, as well as gay oriented hotels.

Puerto Vallarta has earned the title of the World’s Friendliest City thanks to its great spirit of welcome, warmth and inclusion towards all visitors, including the LGBTQ+ community, which is why every year so many people choose this tourist destination as their favorite place to spend an incredible vacation.

Puerto Vallarta has received multiple recognitions from international organizations and media for being a gay friendly, hospitable and inclusive destination. Especially in the city’s Romantic Zone, or “gayborhood,” a trendy place that integrates more than 70 gay owned, operated & friendly establishments, including hotels, restaurants, bars, cabarets, art galleries, boutiques, barbershops and spas, among others designed to satisfy all expectations.

“The great diversity of attractions focused on satisfying the needs and demands of the gay community, together with the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta, are the perfect combination to enjoy an unforgettable trip in the company of friends or couples, so we are ready to welcome them with the greatest possible security, hospitality and warmth,” commented Luis Villaseñor, director of the Public Trust for the Promotion and Tourism Publicity of Puerto Vallarta.

The green pearl of the Mexican Pacific is a safe tourist destination for the gay community, as well as for all visitors arriving in Puerto Vallarta, a premise that is reaffirmed by the recent National Urban Public Safety Survey conducted by INEGI, where the city is positioned in the Top 10 of the safest places in Mexico.
