LGBTQI+-Friendly Travel Destinations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hotel Belmar in Costa Rica Debuted 2024 Live & Proud Events

— June 25, 2024 — Social Good
Hotel Belmar in Costa Rica strives to position itself as an LGBTQI+-friendly travel destination by hosting 2024 Live & Proud events.

Known for its inclusive environment and cultural offerings, Hotel Belmar hosts a diverse artist residency that attracts creatives worldwide to the serene Monteverde cloud forests. Throughout the year, the hotel features LGBTQI+-themed experiences, welcoming queer musicians and guest speakers to enrich its cultural tapestry. Earlier this year, Hotel Belmar collaborated with Monteverde Diverso for the local Pride parade, celebrating with live music at Cerveceria Belmar, the hotel's onsite bar and brewery. This initiative joined other community events like outdoor cinema and workshops, fostering engagement with families and the LGBTQI+ community.

For instance, the LGBTQI+ workshop — titled 'LGBTQI+ Social Activism, Empowerment, and Leadership in Rural Communities' — highlights queer movements thriving beyond traditional urban settings. As another gesture of support, Hotel Belmar has committed to donating 10% of craft beer sales throughout June to local advocacy non-profit Monteverde Diverso.
