The officers, advisory board and area coordinators are the founding members of the
International Association of Black Travel Writers. We are travel writers from different
professions. Some of us are teachers, lawyers, publicists, accountants, business
owners, travel guides, authors and college instructors in addition to travel writers. We
invite other travel writers to join our team. In addition to our goal of promoting tourism
