Mar 7 2025

In recent years, fetish tourism has become a powerful force within the travel industry, with more people seeking holidays tailored to their unique interests. The fetish community is not only a vibrant and diverse part of the LGBTQ+ world, but also a growing segment of the travel market. At Wide Awake Holidays, we understand the importance of catering to this community with the same level of respect, personalisation, and attention to detail as we do for all our clients. Sometimes, gay-friendly isn’t friendly enough—and that’s why we’re here.

Whether you’re a frequent traveller looking to immerse yourself in a world of kink or a first-timer curious about the exciting events and destinations on offer, we’ve got you covered. As a gay-owned travel company, we specialise in crafting bespoke holidays, tailored specifically to your needs.

Fetish Tourism: A Growing Global Trend

Fetish tourism has grown into a powerful subculture within the broader LGBTQ+ community, with cities across the world hosting iconic events. Folsom Europe, held annually in Berlin, is a prime example of how this niche has blossomed into something both meaningful and exciting for travellers. From leather and rubber to BDSM and beyond, Folsom Europe brings together thousands of like-minded individuals for a celebration of self-expression and freedom.

For those in the know, Darklands in Belgium is another unmissable event on the calendar. Known for its inclusive and immersive atmosphere, Darklands has become one of Europe’s most respected fetish festivals, attracting international visitors eager to explore their kinks in a safe, accepting environment.

How Wide Awake Holidays Can Support Fetish Tourists

At Wide Awake Holidays, we offer an exclusive, personalised service to help you plan your fetish-themed getaway. Whether you’re wondering which tickets to purchase to one of these iconic events or need assistance with flights, accommodation, and transfers, we’ve got the expertise to ensure your trip is seamless.

We know that the fetish community values privacy and discretion, which is why we only work with trusted suppliers who understand your needs and expectations. From booking luxury hotels in Berlin during Folsom Europe to helping you find the perfect place to stay during Maspalomas Fetish Week in Gran Canaria, we make sure every detail is taken care of so you can enjoy your trip without the stress.

The founder of Wide Awake Holidays, who was crowned Mr Leather UK in 2017, has attended countless events within the fetish community, building connections and gaining insight into the needs of fetish travellers. This experience allows us to offer tailored advice and recommendations based on firsthand knowledge. You can trust us to book you into the best venues, get the best deals, and ensure you feel completely comfortable every step of the way.

Fetish Tourism is Not Just About the Events – It’s About the Experience

Fetish tourism is about more than just attending events; it’s about the entire experience. It’s about feeling welcomed in places where you can express yourself freely, surrounded by people who share your passions. Maspalomas Fetish Week in Gran Canaria offers a perfect example of how fetish culture has become intertwined with mainstream tourism. From themed parties to kink-friendly hotels, this event has something for everyone, no matter where you are on your journey of self-exploration.
