Being Black in travel April 26, 2021 TW illustration by Jenn Martins In November, Travel Weekly published research that demonstrated a wide gap in perception between white travel professionals and Black travel professionals about how diverse and inclusive the industry is: 61% of white respondents felt it was diverse and inclusive, and an equal percentage of Black respondents felt that it was not.
