A Vibe
You Can’t Describe

BLACK LOVE.. BLACK LOVE.. BLACK LOVE…

Founded in 2019, at the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to supporting, empowering, and fostering opportunities with and for the Black travel community. We have diligently cultivated an ecosystem that revolves around an annual multi-day summit and several shorter in-person and digital events throughout the year creating entertaining programming around the impact, future, and rich tapestry of Black culture in travel.

Through our efforts, we aim to bridge the gap and foster partnerships between Black travel professionals and leaders, entrepreneurs, creators, and our allies.

Making travel and tourism more inclusive is our life’s work.
