Why Booking Black Matters
Black travelers are a powerhouse market—yet ownership in the hotel sector remains disproportionately small. Booking intentionally:
• Builds wealth in communities long excluded from ownership
• Keeps culture alive in neighborhoods at risk of erasure
• Circulates dollars through local economies
• Makes the tourism industry more reflective of the people who actually travel
