World’s first gay festival to launch in Thailand

World’s first gay festival to launch in Thailand

“Gay travellers want a travel experience that is more than just a party.”

And it’s this founding idea that has set the wheels in motion on new global gay travel experience, TropOut.

Launching in Thailand in April next year, TropOut has the aim of drawing together likeminded travellers from all over the world, promoting friendly, unguarded and refined experiences for all gay people.

“No travel experience is truly complete without cultural discovery and personal rejuvenation,” founding director Aaron Zoanetti said.

“Having fun is definitely important, and TropOut will deliver that in abundance, but in a comfortable and sophisticated way. But TropOut is not just about the party.”

Up to 1100 travellers will flock to Bang Tao Beach in Thailand’s balmy southern Phuket, where five-star Angsana Laguna Phuket will play host over a weeklong holiday, including six nights’ accommodation at Angsana Resort, entertainment, transfers and an array of other optional add-ons.

TropOut guests will also be offered exclusive access to Xana Beach Club and a dedicated TropOut Hub at the Nikki Beach Club.

Offering a point of difference for gay travellers, TropOut’s aim is to inspire a comfortable, relaxed and gentrified travel experience, which was something lacking in gay travel.

During TropOut, guests can also experience Thailand’s culture and sights by attending a number of optional excursions such as island tours, cooking classes and spa treatments.

Prior to and after TropOut, guests will have the option to join guided small group journeys with fellow guests to further explore the neighbouring alcoves of Thailand.

TropOut is for couples, groups of friends and solo travellers looking for a fun and refined gay travel experience in a tropical paradise.

A 6 night package starts from USD$1295 per person, twin share, and you can find more info on the TropOut Festival here.
