The Mediterranean archipelago of Malta continues to shine as a destination with a longstanding commitment to equality, safety, and representation. This reputation was recognized when Malta received the Award for Leading LGBTQ Destination at the Baxter Travel Media Agent's Choice Awards, presented in Toronto, June 18, 2026.

LGBTQ travelers will soon have another extraordinary reason to visit South Florida. Hilton and Reuben Brothers have announced plans to transform one of Miami Beach's most recognizable oceanfront hotels into the highly anticipated Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, bringing the legendary luxury brand to one of the world's most iconic beach destinations for the very first time.

Few destinations blend waterfront beauty, vibrant nightlife, cultural attractions, and welcoming LGBTQ+ communities quite like Tampa Bay. While Pride celebrations may wrap up in June, July keeps the energy alive with festivals, outdoor adventures, concerts, museums, sporting events, and culinary experiences that make the region an ideal summer getaway.
