One aspect of travel we should all be more conscious of, our safety. GeoSure, a leader in worldwide safety assessment, focuses on exactly that — personal safety from your local neighborhood to the far corners of Earth.
While a helpful tool for all travelers to have, GeoSure presents safety ratings by iPhone and Android mobile phone apps, based on global data. GeoSure research uses innovative technology culminating current safety ratings, daily information, predictive analytics and AI — all calculating location-specific, safety-level rankings known as GeoSafeScores.
These scores provide users with an analytic understanding of any possible at-risk locations, projected “safer” regions and varied destinations in between. The GeoScores break down relative safety for travelers of all ages, race, gender, creed and sexual orientation across more than 30,000 locations.
The first technology of its kind to develop a female travel safety measure, GeoSure is now the first localized, real-time safety awareness tool designed for LGBTQ+ travelers. Whether vacationing with friends, family, solo or with your partner, having a helpful guide to ideal destinations for business, leisure and education, GeoSure focuses on providing users with a better understanding of their surroundings and a guide to a smoother travel experience for everyone.
As part of this new specialized safety feature, GeoSure announced the “Top 5 Safest Global Urban Neighborhoods for LGBTQ Travelers” with the help of its user-friendly interface, scoring safety levels 1–100 — lower scores mean a safer neighborhood.
According to recent data, GeoSafeScores gave the following cities the lowest and safest ratings for LGBTQ+ travelers:
- The Castro district in San Francisco, score 17
- Berlin’s Schöneberg neighborhood, score 24
- Amsterdam’s Centrum neighborhood, score 27
- Barcelona’s Eixample neighborhood, score 30
- Tel Aviv’s City Center, Florentin neighborhood, score 31
While the neighborhoods may be more specific than your current travel plans, what better excuse to visit a new locale? The word “safe” can mean something different to everyone, but, by GeoSure’s terms, it’s defined as the “likelihood of harm or discrimination against LGBTQ persons or groups and level of caution required at location.”
By focusing on the safety needs of the traveler, you can rest a bit easier in your vacation plans while going off the predictive technology of GeoSure. With most AI technology, the idea is the system will learn and provide even more specific, accurate and detailed safety measures with time.
