Black Travelers Are Spending $145 Billion—Is the travel industry truly recognizing our impact?

Black travelers are making major moves, spending $145 billion on domestic travel alone—averaging nearly $3,000 per person, per trip.

In this data-packed episode of The Traveling Black Women Podcast, we’re breaking down MMGY Global’s latest Black traveler study, conducted in partnership with the Black Travel Alliance and the National Coalition of Black Meeting Professionals.

What We'll Discuss in This Episode:

• The numbers behind Black travel spending
• How our choices are shifting the face of tourism and breaking generational curses
• The role of safety in our travel decisions—why we prioritize it and where we feel most secure
• Why word-of-mouth and community-driven travel matter more than ever
• How investing in experiences enhances our quality of life

We belong in this space, and we need to make note of our impact. The days of picturing a “tourist” as specific demographic are over—because our dollars are proving otherwise.

Tune in, get the insights, and let’s keep traveling on our terms.
