Multi-cultural media platform Blavity recently acquired a travel and discovery platform specifically for black millennials. The Travel Noire site provides "cultivated insights from a global community of black travelers," and is an example of how travel content can target very specific demographics when travel apps and sites are increasingly popular.
Travel Noire covers travel-related topics such as food and style picks and goes beyond experiential travel tips to offer more general guidance millennials will find interesting (recent articles published include "How to Quit Your Job and Move Abroad" and "Travelanthropy and the Power of the Black Missionary"). The travel and discovery platform also hosts video content for unconventional travel, making it a good fit for the Blavity brand.
