Six years ago Zoom Vacations became a Founding Member in the Belmond Hotels and Resorts LGBTQ Advisory Board.  A first of its kind in the hospitably luxury travel industry.  With the world opening up to in-person travel, I am once again proud to participate in our yearly LGBTQ Advisory Board meeting.  

Held this year in the iconic Castello Di Casole near the town of Siena in Tuscany, I have spent the last three days discussing with representatives of Belmond’s executive team ways in which any of the Belmond properties can continue to be a welcoming, inclusive and authentic destination for the LGBTQ community.  Further, we have been discussing ways in which the brand can continue to deliver on its promise to “curate the ultimate travel collection in global leisure destinations where every assist is a perfect expression of the Belmond brand.”  

Belmond hotels are prominently featured on many Zoom Vacations trips such as Zoom Peru, Zoom South Africa, and Zoom Thailand.  They offer excellent service and are committed to the LGBTQ community.
