A Vibe
You Can’t Describe
BLACK LOVE.. BLACK LOVE.. BLACK LOVE…
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 conference and several shorter live 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 between Black travel businesses, career and entrepreneurial professionals, influencers, and every facet of the tourism supply chain. At the Black Travel Summit, we are driven by a passion for sharing knowledge on destinations.
