WHY IT RATES: The first-ever travel expo for Black travelers and members of the travel industry will be postponed to June 2022 in the interest of attendees' health and safety due to the COVID-19 pandemic. - Lacey Pfalz, Associate Writer, TravelPulse
The Black Travel Expo (BTE) has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 Delta Variant situation along with city and state officials. Due to the escalating COVID-19 / Delta Variant outbreak and in consideration of the health and safety of our participants, we have made the decision to postpone the BTE, scheduled for October 14-17, 2021, at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. While the postponement is unfortunate, it was also the best choice for our travel community. The new dates are June 2-5, 2022.
The health and welfare of all attendees, exhibitors, speakers as well as local, national and international communities at large, are our highest priority. Postponement is the right decision and for all those involved.
For those who purchased the discounted early bird expo pass and awards brunch, these passes will be honored for the new dates. A new link for hotel reservations will be available on the BTE website shortly.
We are encouraged that by June 2022, we will have a much better opportunity to gather together in a safer and more comfortable environment. We are continuing to monitor these agencies' websites for the most up-to-date information on the coronavirus:
