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.
To help understand the dynamics behind this perception gap, Travel Weekly asked seven members of the Northstar Travel Group Black Advisory Board to participate in a roundtable discussion that explored their experiences in the industry and share what it’s like to be a Black travel professional.
