Our Story
In the wake of social unrest from George Floyd’s publicized murder and pronouncements of “Black Lives Matter” support by destination management organizations and travel brands, a group of Black Travel Content Creators from across the globe formed the Black Travel Alliance (BTA) in June 2020. The main objective of the alliance is to hold travel brands accountable and advocate for meaningful representation of Black voices across the travel industry.
