Out Of Office is the world's most reviewed LGBTQ+ travel company. For comment, data or images, talk to us.
Our story
Out Of Office was founded in 2016 and has grown into the world's largest inclusive travel company, pioneering the idea that exclusivity and inclusivity belong together. It is the sister brand of Travel Gay and Gay and Lesbian Weddings.
The company was founded by former ITN journalist Darren Burn. We are always glad to speak to journalists and writers about luxury travel, LGBTQ+ travel, and the places where the two meet.

We plant trees for every booking

We donate to Rainbow Railroad with every booking
