Scott Dunn Travel

At Scott Dunn, our mission is to push the boundaries of luxury travel and create travel experiences that take you further. No matter who you are or how you identify, we want to help you Travel Further with Pride. In honour of pride month, we reached out to the Scott Dunn community to ask them to share what it means to ‘travel with pride’ 🏳️‍🌈

Alexandra said: “For me, travelling with pride is about feeling safe to travel with my wife and daughter, not just to a resort, but to experience the sights and communities in a destination without feeling threatened or the object of scrutiny. It is about having the same freedoms and opportunities for experience that heterosexual families have.” - Alexandra, Scott Dunn Marketing Team.

While this may not be your typical summer holiday, it’s a chance to go beyond the beach and embrace a different style of summer travel✈️
