Donald Trump has officially started his second term as President of The United States, after victory in the polls in November. His divisive leadership has led some Americans who disagree with his politics to emigrate, with notable names like Ellen DeGeneres and Eva Longoria upping sticks to Europe.

And for liberal travellers, trips to the States now feel problematic, too. During his last term, more than a quarter of UK holidaymakers said they were less likely to visit the US while Donald Trump was in the White House. A survey on the day the 2024 election results were announced found 17% of Brits still feel this way.

But 50.1% of Americans did not vote for Trump, and more than 6 million people are employed in the tourism industry, who all rely on visitors to keep businesses thriving. So, where should you go if you want to experience America, without feeling like you’re going against your liberal views?.

Texas is considered a Republican stronghold, famous for its conservative views on gun control, abortion and climate change. But Houston is one of the handful of blue Texan cities in a sea of red, voting Democrat for more than a decade. The city has been celebrating Pride for 47 years, playing host to the third-largest Pride event in the USA, attended by thousands of partygoers every year.

And there’s no shortage of sites to see here, with the Space Centre sure to be top of every traveller’s list. The first word ever spoken on the moon was ‘Houston’, and space nerds can visit the likes of Mission Mars, an interactive exhibit that documents the journey towards it, as well as see countless spacesuits, photographs and displays.
