The National Association of Black Hotel Owners, Operators and Developers (NABHOOD) since its formation in 1998 continues to work tirelessly to create more executive leadership positions for people of color in the Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Industry.

As a group of hospitality industry veterans with wide-ranging professional experiences, along with scholars and academics who are engaged in the education and preparation of future generations of hospitality professionals and leaders, we are concerned about the enduring absence of Black and African American executives in our industry.

This year’s NABHOOD Summit will be held virtually September 14-18.

This event is presented by The National Association of Black Hotel Owners, Operators & Developers (NABHOOD), International Multicultural & Heritage Tourism Network (IMFITN), Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Black Meetings & Tourism Magazine and Horizons International Group, Inc. The theme is "Exploring the Multicultural Tourism Market".

The 7th Annual International Multicultural & Heritage Tourism Summit & Trade Show will follow the NABHOOD Summit on September 18-19, except this year it will be virtual.

The summit is designed to educate attendees on how to gain a share of the $90 Billion+ Multicultural & Heritage Tourism market, share minority travel trends, learn how to market Multicultural & Heritage Tourism and look at diversity issues affecting the Hospitality industry. Multicultural and Heritage Tourism is the fastest growing segment in the tourism industry. The Summit is also intended to empower urban and rural communities to become self-sufficient through the development and marketing of Multicultural & Heritage Tourism.

To register for either or both summits call (954) 797-7102.
