HONOLULU, HAWAII, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GayTravel.com, a trusted resource for LGBT travelers for over two decades, has announced an exciting partnership with Honolulu Pride™ for 2019 and 2020. As part of the partnership, GayTravel.com will provide marketing promotion and sponsorship development services to Hawaii’s largest and most colorful festival for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and allied communities.

Additionally, GayTravel.com, along with one of its Let’s Get OUT There! campaign partners, Advantage Rent a Car, will feature a rainbow-emblazoned vehicle in the Pride Parade, dubbed “The Honolulu Pride Ride.” This eye-catching vehicle display is designed to kick off the celebration of Honolulu Pride™ while also recognizing LGBT History Month throughout October.

As it makes its way down the Parade path and around Festival activities, this celebratory vehicle will remind LGBT travelers and their allies to book a rental car with Advantage and use the promo code GAYTRAVEL to get 20% off the lowest internet rate and a free additional driver, plus receive automatic SILVER-tier status in the company’s Expressway rewards program.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Honolulu Pride™ on their marketing and sponsorship efforts for 2019 and 2020 and to help support the event and the community through our Let’s Get OUT There! campaign,” GayTravel.com’s Chief Visionary Officer Steve Rohrlick said. “This important campaign with Advantage has already saved gay travelers and their allies over a quarter of a million dollars. We encourage travelers to pay it forward by donating their savings to the Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation, which organizes Honolulu Pride™. Learn more about donating at gaytravel.com/lets-get-out-there.”

“Showing our commitment to the LGBT community is important to us here at Advantage, which is why we’re proud to offer deep discounts as part of the Let’s Get OUT There! campaign and celebrate the occasion with the Honolulu Pride Ride,” said Scott Davido, President and CEO of Advantage. “As the first Let’s Get OUT There! partner, we hope gay travelers and their allies take full advantage of the 20% discount at all of our nationwide locations.”

“Stay tuned after this year’s event as we begin to share details about a major sweepstakes we’re planning for 2020 that will feature a VIP grand prize trip to Honolulu Pride™,” Rohrlick said.
