Esta publicación también está disponible en: Español

Puerto Vallarta has received nominations in two categories for the annual Gay Travel Award, having been nominated in the Hotel Beach and Destination Beach categories.

Last year Puerto Vallarta was nominated for Pride of the Year, and Hotel for Pride, of the year. The Westin Puerto Vallarta ended up winning the hotel category. In 2018 the city won the Best Pride of the Year category.

Voting is open through December 27, 2020. Votes can be cast by visiting www.gaytravelawards.com. This year, there are 157 finalists across 22 categories.

Now in its fifth year, the mission of the Gay Travel Awards is to recognize and promote select destinations and travel-related companies around the globe. These distinguished organizations lead by example and help inspire other companies and brands to follow their spirit of inclusiveness and to constantly improve their amenities, safety protocols, and service excellence.

Gay Travel Influencers have been added for the first time, too, and the new category is an important and noteworthy enhancement.

GayTravel Chief Visionary Officer Steve Rohrlick said: “This year has been like no other. With the pandemic raging across the globe, many travelers are restricted from traveling or are waiting for a safer time to venture out. With that said, those safer times are likely just around the corner. The Gay Travel Awards give us all a moment to focus on the industry’s best as a prologue to us all getting back out there.”
