Established in 2011, Brand g has become the premier operator of white-glove all-LGBT+ vacations around the world. From exotic and lesser traveled corners of the globe to beloved iconic destinations, Brand g offers remarkable service and exceptional experiences curated by LGBT+ travel experts.
In celebration of Pride around the world, Brand g is pleased to announce these exclusive trips:
Brian Van Wey and Jeff Gundvaldson, co-owners and operators of Brand g, along with their staff of eight have more than 75 years combined experience in LGBT+ travel. Owners Jeff and Brian are intimately involved in all aspects of the vacations Brand g delivers, from initial conception, to curating the itineraries, to hosting their guests on trips, ensuring first-class service.
Brand g staff members are on every trip to make sure everything runs like clockwork and that guests have a great time. They create stress-free fun for the diverse community that are Brand g travelers. They genuinely care.
“We have an authentic passion for gay group travel. What makes Brand g unique is our focus on a more intimate personal experience for our travelers. We offer a mix of exotic bucket list destinations along with trips to the world’s most popular destinations,” commented Jeff. The company has earned exceptional reviews and a rate of repeat travelers unmatched in the industry.
Virtually everything is included in the price of a Brand g vacation except airfare. Yes, even shore excursions and cocktails, as well as special signature experiences. The trips are intimate in size (40 to 200 guests). If you are traveling with a significant other or interested in making new friends, Brand g has more than 20 trips each year that provide excellent opportunities to explore the world with others that share similar values.
Since its inception, Brand g has continually given back to the destinations they’ve visited with both dollars and time. Co-owner Brian Van Wey states, “Charity is an absolutely fundamental part of our philosophy, which is to leave countries just a bit better than we found them. For example, we have helped a school along the Mekong River in Vietnam by providing computers and a reading library, raised funds to put a roof on a school in Myanmar, funded a water project in Tanzania, helped LGBT Syrian refugees in Istanbul, and were one of the founding contributors to Prague Pride.”
Additionally, Brand g partners with LGBT+ organizations across the U.S. to provide ongoing funds to support their missions. Over the past 11 years, they’ve given over $750,000 to non-profits engaged in LGBT+ issues like equality, HIV, refugees and the arts. “Brand g also uses the power of travel to make the world a better place. There’s no better way to support destinations that welcome us than with our tourism dollars. A full ship of LGBT+ passengers makes a strong statement, and it validates the power of our community through our choices,” notes Jeff Gundvaldson.
