Pride and Diversity in Hostels: Why Inclusivity Matters All Year Round
Pride and Diversity in Hostels: Why Inclusivity Matters All Year Round
Discover how Sant Jordi Hostels celebrates diversity and creates safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQIA+, trans, non-binary, intersex, and racialized travelers. Travel with pride, every day of the year.
Traveling should mean freedom: exploring cultures, making friends, and feeling safe anywhere in the world. But for many LGBTQIA+, trans, non-binary, intersex, and racialized travelers, moving around can bring anxiety or fear. At Sant Jordi Hostels, we believe inclusive hospitality is key, and Pride isnât just a June celebration: itâs something we live every day in our hostels.
đłď¸âđ Inclusion Beyond Pride
Pride is a celebration of love, visibility, and rightsâbut true inclusion happens all year. In hostels, this means:
-
Respecting names and pronouns.
-
Offering mixed or gender-neutral rooms.
-
Promoting diversity on social media and in activities.
-
Listening to LGBTQIA+ and racialized guests to improve practices.
A safe space transforms the travel experience: itâs not just accommodation, itâs community.

âđ˝ Intersectionality: Listening to Everyone
Inclusion also means recognizing that not all experiences are the same. A trans person of color may face different challenges than a white trans person; a non-binary guest may feel accepted in some spaces but invisible in others.
Intersectionality reminds us that celebrating Pride also means advocating for social justice within the community.

đ Traveling Without Fear: The Impact of Inclusive Hostels
An inclusive hostel doesnât just attract more travelersâit creates a more empathetic, safer world. Imagine:
-
A trans traveler on their first solo trip, respected and called by their correct name.
-
A non-binary person joining group activities without having to explain themselves.
-
A racialized guest receiving warm, welcoming service at the front desk.
Thatâs what Pride looks like in practice.

đŹ Concrete Actions for Inclusive Hostels
At Sant Jordi Hostels, we put inclusion into action:
-
Staff training on diversity, anti-racism, and gender identity.
-
Clear protocols for discrimination or harassment.
-
Inclusive communication on social media, signage, and check-in.
-
Partnerships with LGBTQIA+ organizations and local social projects.
-
Pride celebrated as a philosophy, not just a June event.
