Those were some of the key findings from a new Booking.com study of more than 3,000 LGBT+ travellers across Europe, North America and Australasia carried out this summer.
More than half (55%) of LGBT+ travellers also reported having “less-than-welcoming or uncomfortable experiences” at their accommodation during a trip.
Meanwhile 25% have had staff assume they would need separate rooms or beds when checking in as a couple.
Despite highlighting difficult experiences, more than half of LGBT+ travellers surveyed by Booking.com (58%) said they had felt welcomed “most of the time” during their stay.
