BCANCC 06 - The Founder of Black Canadian TravellersWhen you visit a travel agency. You pick up a copy of Sunquest or Royal Caribbean Cruise Magazine. What or better yet who do you see on the cover?For the most part, you will see in these travel publications, quite often paint a picture of a Western tourist usually gazing at the horizon from the edge of an infinity pool. And, while you are looking at any major campaigns or advertisements for travel -- especially luxury travel -- you don't see black or brown faces. This causes an issue because, psychologically, it makes people who identify as Black, Caribbean, Mixed, African, Afro-Canadians feel like this isn't made for them.@blackcanadiantravellers or @blackcanadiantravellers2 is changing this idea. All on an interesting Instagram account.
