Andrew Earle said he recently had to warn a couple who inquired about booking a trip to the Maldives.
The luxury holiday destination has strict rules around same-sex relationships, and although there are some gay-friendly resorts, not all places are safe.
The Maldives is under Sharia Law and public displays of affection between same-sex couples in the resort can lead to eight years imprisonment and 100 lashes.
The travel agent said it is a “difficult conversation” to have, but travel agents have to ask about the nature of customer’s relationships when booking holidays to certain destinations, Hull Live reports.
