Nearly everybody gets travel inspiration from the social media accounts they follow, or from accounts that are shown on their feeds. Today we're looking at the people who have charted a path down food and travel content creation -- specifically by and for Black food and travel businesses and travelers.
And we're mingling this with a new study from MMGY that talks about the size and scope of the Black travel market, now up to a spend of $145 billion in 2023, mostly on transportation and food and beverage.
Talking travel and content creation today are the author of our cover story on the subject, Mariette Williams, and Richmond, Va.-based Dominic Brown, who created and manages the account and website Tall Travel Eats.
