Created by the genius of Sonders & Beach that has always been committed to support the integration of LGBTQ+ community in our country, from respect and valorization of all differences present in the company to development of dedicated travel services, QMagazine is today the first Italian multimedia network dedicated to LGBTQ+ tourism with over 1 million users per year.
Cute, Smart, Cool: QMagazine is a travel portal dedicated to LGBTQ+ tourism since 2007, a directory of welcoming accommodation facilities, but also the first Italian half-yearly magazine about LGBTQ+ friendly Travel & Lifestyle. It promotes inclusion and social, economic, cultural sustainability, declining it on different areas of daily life.
QMagazine writes about many topics, from food to lifestyle, from art to cinematography… all bound by one soul, by a single fil rouge: TRAVEL. Travel is intended as a moment of encounter, knowledge, and acceptance of all differences. With the desire to promote “the culture of sustainable travel” and to enhance every aspect of it, we decided to define welcoming-LGBTQ+ tourism, an inclusive tourism, open to all that allows people showing themselves as they are. For this reason, our motto is “For Him, for Her, but especially for You!”.
Every year, through the QPrize, we award companies and institutions that stand out for their inclusive policies and communication targeted at the LGBTQ+ community. This recognition, created in collaboration with AITGL – Italian Gay and Lesbian Tourism Association and the International Certification Body RINA, aims to encourage change and celebrate the most virtuous entities in the tourism sector.
In 2022, QMagazine had the honor of being the media partner of the 39th IGLTA Global Convention, the largest event dedicated to LGBTQ+ Tourism, hosted in Milan with the support of ENIT, AITGL, and the City of Milan. With over 700 participants, including operators, media, and institutions, the event positioned Italy at the forefront of the international stage as an open and inclusive destination.

It’s truly a pleasure to work with a young, dynamic company that creates top-tier editorial products. Years of close collaboration with QMagazine have led to the growth of a market aimed at a lifestyle-oriented audience.

Our cooperation with Quiiky has always been positive and profitable. A Quiiky Magazine’s journalist produced an intriguing article in which our partners were all mentioned together with LOU QUEERNAVAL activities (first gay French Carnival).
