What is your primary service or product?    Liz_headshot

Rainbow High Vacations is a full service retail and online travel agency and travel packaging wholesaler. We specialize in providing services for gay and lesbian travellers, which includes specialized travel information, destination advice for LGBT travellers, and LGBT-specific and inclusive vacations.

When was your organization founded and what is its history?

Our company was founded over 25 years ago as a travel incentive company, then purchased a few years later to become one of the first agencies to focus on the emerging market of gay and lesbian tourism. Rainbow High Vacations is now Canada’s largest gay owned and operated retailer specializing in lesbian and gay travel, staffed by consultants with expert market knowledge and extensive contacts in the LGBT communities. This year we are revamping our online agency and introducing more online services through our new portal, www.rainbow.travel .

What makes your organization unique?

We believe in building community through exploration, shared discovery and safe travels. Our strength is having the industry knowledge, connections, and depth of experience to provide customized, specialty travel services to niche markets, while also having the resources of our worldwide travel partnerships to meet “everyday” travel needs in this highly competitive industry. For example, we have new LGBT tourism partners in Turkey, Nepal, India, Africa and Brazil, but we also work as an affiliate of Thomas Cook companies like Sunquest, Boomerang and ExoticTours.

Who would be a good client for you? 

While we can find and provide any kind of vacation, the most interesting work is helping people find their dream vacation – the bucket list
trip, the first experience of gay-lesbian group travel, the cruise to south pacific islands. This year we have sent people on their first safari, on Galapagos cruises, to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, and we are sending some teams to their first gay sport experience at the Vancouver Outgames this summer.

What does being a member of the OGLCC mean to you and your organization? 

I love the networking opportunities, the sharing of ideas, and the support that members give each other. I greatly appreciate the ways that we help each other to grow our businesses, and the assistance and advice that is given and received.
