Product Description
More than just a reference to destinations, THE GAY VACATION GUIDE is a unique resource that will help travellers find exactly what they're looking for in a vacation - and where to find it - whether it's square dancing in Australia, cruising the Nile, riding horseback, scuba diving, or anything in between. Distinctive in that it is organised not by destination out by type and special features of a vacation, in this book readers will discover the best places to go for: - Active Vacations: cycling through France, riding the Montana Rails, undersea in Belize, shooting the rapids, and trekking the High Himalayas. - Adventures Abroad: gay package tours for Mardis Gras, the Great Barrier Reef, Melbourne's Midsummer Gay Festival, and Canada's Eat Quiche Tour. - Special Interest Tours: Gay Day at Disneyland, Dungeons and Antiques, Spirit Journeys, and Murder Mysteries in England. In addition, the book offers such features as finding the perfect resort or cruise if you're travelling alone; seasonal and holiday favourites; roughing it or basking in luxury; the world's most gay-friendly cities; world-wide, month-by-month special events; and a complete list of tour guides and other travel resources. Throughout the book there are also helpful tips for travelling healthy, saving money, locating and patronising gay-friendly businesses, and avoided problems while travelling.
