Regardless of whether you're looking for gay hookups or use these apps regularly, many of them have useful features that you can use when you travel. If you’ve never used a gay hook up or dating app then you’re either living under a rock or you’ve specifically convinced yourself to avoid downloading one for whatever reason. These apps can be particularly useful, especially if you’re traveling alone or looking to connect with other gay guys on your trip. Using a gay app is one way you can connect with locals in a city you’re visiting to get the best insight and updated information about the destination. In fact, now the availability of information is almost overwhelming, and it can sometimes be difficult to know where to turn for the best advice, information and resources to make the most of your trip. No longer do you have to visit a travel agent to book a vacation or buy a traditional guidebook to plan your journey in the places you’re going to visit.

With a growing acceptance of LGBT people and more countries approving marriage equality around the world, it’s no surprise that we now have a variety of new apps, resources and technology at our fingertips. But now, more than ever our community is taking to the skies, roads and rails to explore more new places with major improvements in visibility. LGBT people have always traveled even before tourism was a major industry.
