Black Excellence Travel Chicago Defender

Carl and Ashley Merritt are the founders of the Black Excellence Travel Team. They create opportunities to travel and meet others through shared experiences and new memories.

CD:  What inspired you to create Black Excellence Travel?

Carl: It started with a milestone birthday celebration. A year before my 30th birthday, I mentioned to friends that I wanted to celebrate in Cancun, Mexico. I wanted 30 friends to travel with me to celebrate my 30th birthday. We found a hotel and asked our friends to join us. It grew from there. We eventually had 122 people on that trip. We had such a great time. After the trip, my friends told me that we had to do it again, and that is how it started. Ashley turned 30 the following year, so we decided to do it again. We invited her family, friends, and the people who joined us the previous year and went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. That year we had 200 people. It was such a great experience. Our upcoming trip in 2021 will be our third year. We are traveling to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We have 607 people who paid their deposits.

CD: Are there scheduled activities or excursions during these trips?

Ashley: We rented a yacht, had a DJ, and enjoyed a party on the boat in Cancun and Cabo San Lucas. We do not have one big group excursion. We always have a welcome meet and greet event. It is usually a cocktail mixer.

Carl: There is no set itinerary. We get a group of black people at the same resort and create our own fun. We gather at the pool, the beach, and it goes from there. It is more about traveling together and having a great time while we are there.

Ashley: For our Dominican Republic trip, we have a pool party and nightclub outing planned. We are staying at the resort the entire time. Everything is there. We want to create a balance of activities or excursions without doing too much.

CD: What goals do you have for the Black Excellence Travel Team?

Carl: My father always said, Giving is the key to everything”. We want to incorporate service into these trips. We want to create a service-oriented activity to give back to the communities in these countries. For us, it is not just about partying; we want to do some good wherever we go.

Ashley: We also want to create a scholarship program for students who wish to study abroad. We want to sponsor someone who may not be able to afford the opportunity to study abroad.

Carl: I studied abroad twice in college. The impact it had on me changed my life. We want to give that opportunity to someone else. Studying abroad is impactful.

CD:  Why do you think it is important to expose black children to travel?

Ashley: Traveling allows you to choose the type of life you want to live based on your exposure. Exposing children to travel also allows them the opportunity to learn more. It broadens their horizons.

Black Excellence Travel Chicago Defender

CD: It seems like there has been an explosion of black travel and black travel groups lately. Why do you think that is?

Ashley: Social media helped a lot. When you see others do it and post their experiences, that is inspiring. I believe black travel is self-care. We have so much on our plates, especially now. Allowing a moment to put everything on pause and take a break is necessary. Exploring new countries, cultures, and creating new memories is an act of self-care. Being in a different environment allows you to release the stresses of life.

CD: Are there other locations Black Excellence Travel Team would like to explore in the future?

Carl: We are excited about Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, in 2021. We want to go to Jamaica, Costa Rica, Africa, Spain, Greece, and more. We are in the early stages, but we remain focused and looking towards the future.

CD: For the 2020 Punta Cana trip, what adjustments have you made considering COVID-19?

Carl: It is all about safety. We update our followers with details of our travel experiences at the airport.  Also, we are documenting the resort’s sanitation process. We want to show all these experiences to help people feel comfortable.

CD: Can people still join the 2021 trip?

Carl: Yes, our host hotel has over 700 rooms. We are still accepting deposits.

Up in the Air Life Features Black Travel That Gets Both Lit and Luxe

Black. Travel. Excellence.

It’s a concept that has literally taken flight—courtesy of skyrocketing black-owned and operated tour company Up in the Air Life .

A glittery diamond on an increasingly dark travel-movement landscape, UITAL’s rep for serving up consistent black excellence from Cuba to Croatia is so strong, it’s caught the attention of corporate giants like Walmart and has caused the growing Washington, D.C.-based company to triple its revenue since its first trip in 2014. This year UITAL is projected to pull in $1 million.

The reason?

UITAL clients don’t take trips—they partake in epic, culturally curated adventures, whether that’s puffing poolside cigars with the boys in Cartagena, Colombia, or bouncing to Paris for the kickoff of Beyoncé’s world tour.

For passport-sporting millennials and Gen Xers, the opportunity to view the world through a prism of opulence and peak blackness is an opportunity too delicious to pass up.

“Put a group of fly, young, upwardly mobile black folk on a yacht or a plane together and magic happens,” says founder Claire Soares, who has built her empire part time working as a software sales rep.

“UITAL tends to attract like-minded groups of people—execs for companies like Microsoft and Google along with doctors, consultants and entrepreneurs—folks who are well-traveled with high expectations,” she explains. “The networking is often just as attractive as the experiences are.”

And what “experiences” they are: Soares and her staff of 25, located from Mexico to New York (she plans to triple her part-time fun consultant crew by summer), literally scour the earth to create the most memorable adventures for their clientele.

“We have an on-staff sommelier who takes clients on food and drink jaunts through Champagne, France, and Bologna, Italy, pairing five-course meals with some of the world’s best wines and champagnes,” says Soares, the self-proclaimed “Chief Memory Maker.” “In France, we’ve rented out one of the acclaimed Moet caves and thrown black-tie dinners. In Bologna, our clients have been able to toast to the patriarch of one of the oldest vineyards in Italy, and rub elbows with the Italian wine ambassador. They also get to learn how to make pasta and sauces from scratch.”

UITAL “offers only the best,” says Soares, because often black travelers are not made to feel welcome or appreciated.

“I think in life [our] people aren’t made to feel appreciated, so we go above and beyond to make our guests’ experiences special and unique,” Soares says. “Seeing them cry at some of the surprise gifts we’ve given them, or to see us chilling out at literally some of the most luxurious places on earth—like the Copacabana Palace in Rio—brings a smile to my face.”

The travel-related glee is both shared and apparent, as evidenced by the rise of such groups as Nomadness Travel Tribe , Travel Noire and the Black Travel Movement , which have hundreds of thousands of black social media followers among them. Then there are those who regularly hop off Facebook and onto a plane, or intend to: CNN reports that intent among black travelers went from 3 percentage points in 2013 to 6 in 2014, then climbed to 19 points in 2015 and went up another 18 points in 2016, per the travel and hospitality marketing firm MMGY Global . With many professional blacks following a nationwide trend that sees 20-, 30- and even 40-somethings getting married and having children later in life , they’ve got both the time and money to spend on travel.

But UITAL’s climbing sales among this prime audience speak for themselves: Last month, the company sold out three mega yachts for Croatia in August in just a few hours—when Soares had only planned on selling one.

“Close to 100 people jumped on this opportunity from all around the world,” says the Virginia native, referencing the pricey trip but also UITAL’s convenient “pay to play” layaway plan. “It’s been our fastest-selling yachting trip to date,” she says about UITAL’s continued presence as one of the few black groups at world Yacht Week. “Word has gotten out about our high level of service. We cater to Black clientele in a way no other company is doing.”

Thirty-four-year-old D.C.-based data engineer Dartanion Williams can attest to this.

Having been on six tours hosted by UITAL or Urban Yacht Life (Soares’ spinoff company) and counting since 2014, Williams says that being down with the UITAL crew has been a life-changing experience.

“I linked up with Claire and UITAL at a time I was ready to travel but a lot of my friends were not,” he says. “That meant I walked away with a whole new group of friends! I’ve connected with people who have inspired me to get uncomfortable in my life and make bold moves, such as leave a great day job to start my own consulting practice,” he says. “This year, I am working on starting a nonprofit organization whose core focus is to help create more minority data engineers such as myself.”

How would you describe your experience at Black Excellence Beach Weekend?

“It was my first time out of the country and it was the best experience I could imagine!” “This was the best coordinated group trip ever!” “All those beautiful black people in one place vibing. If you wanted to be part of the big group, there were things planned to enjoy everyone. If you wanted to do your own thing, you could venture off but know someone would be checking for you. So much black excellence!” “I enjoyed everyone coming together for the Club night, Yacht Party and the Pool. I also enjoyed how people were also able to venture out and do their own thing, essentially having the ability to create their own itinerary.” “Although I only knew two people going into the trip, it felt like a big family reunion with many cousins, aunties and uncles! I loved the whole experience and the positive energy that they brought! Just BEAUTIFUL BLACK LOVE!” “The Cabo trip is a trip that I will always remember. By far the best vacation I have ever been on. Everyone is so friendly. I would recommend everyone for the next one.” “I met a lot of amazing spirited and loving people. A trip of a lifetime. And I got my first stamp on my passport. Can't wait to add more and party with like minded African-Americans.” “The Black Excellence Trip was everything plus more! I highly recommend attending any trip organized by Ashley and Carl! They communicate effectively, and know how to make sure everyone has a great time!” “Carl and Ashley were excellent hosts. Any problems that may have come up, they were on top of it. The energy and vibe of everyone was on point and overall it was the most relaxing, chill and organized coed trip I’ve experienced. Highly recommend you jump on board and help continue this movement!!” “An amazing event and opportunity to travel to other countries, be in amazing company, create new memories and even make some new friends!” “Just an all around great time. Every penny was worth it for that experience. We literally took over the resort and had staff catering to us because we tipped and got the party jumping.” “This was by far the best trip I have ever experienced! Keep up the good work team!” “Carl and Ashley are the most professional and personal people I’ve met in the travel industry! They remembered all 200 faces who were on this trip and will always greet you by your name! Their energy and services are organic and unmatched!” “Amazing experience! I recommend everyone join in the experience at least once and see how your outlook on travel changes! Hands down best group experience I've had without any expectation of having to do anything as a group! Loved it!” “The vibe of the entire group is unlike any gathering of Black people I’ve ever seen. No drama, networking, and kicking it. I can’t describe the experience in just a few words or really at all. It was truly an AMAZING experience which I want to be a part of going forward! See y’all in 2020!”

Black-Owned Travel Companies To Support for National Black Travel Day

Posted: November 11, 2023 | Last updated: November 11, 2023

Social media timelines continue to show that Black travelers are increasingly becoming a well-traveled demographic. However, Black travel professionals understand well how often the community’s value to the industry, both economically and culturally, is overlooked. Aiming to find a unique way to promote the contributions of Black travel professionals and the economic impact of Black travelers on tourism, Black Travel Summit founder Anita Francois recently announced the official designation of November 11 as National Black Travel Day. The auspicious day is an homage to Barrington Irving, the birthday of the first Black person to solo-circumnavigate the globe by plane in 2007.

In the early stages of a new holiday, the question of how to appropriately celebrate the day comes into question. Francois nods to increased visibility for impactful Black travel brands and industry acknowledgment both within and outside of the Black community.

“In an ideal world, I would like to see impactful and up-and-coming Black travel brands and individuals being acknowledged in and outside of our community,” Francois shared with Travel Noire. “Corporations emphasizing their DEI milestones from the year leading up and how they’ve diversified who they employ and partner with; Black travelers booking a trip, ideally with a Black travel advisor.”

Francois also shares that National Black Travel Day is best observed in any way that celebrates the Black travel community. To celebrate the unmatched experiences of Black travel and amplify Black spending power, consider supporting one of these TN-approved Black-owned travel companies.

Black Austin Tours

With the familial wisdom of nearly 200 years in the Austin area, Black Austin Tours founder Javier Wallace is a proud Austinite. Black Austin Tours offers several types of tours throughout the city. Each tour educates visitors on key areas of the city and the origins, contributions, and impact of Austin’s Black community.

From downtown to the Colorado River, Black Austin Tours humanizes the history of Black people’s existence in this region of the US. Wallace is doing the good work of ensuring that the story of his home city is a well-rounded one; one that appropriately holds space for Austin’s Black history.

Black History Walks – London

With sixteen walking tours to choose from, many travelers hail Black History Walks as the best way to learn about the significance of Caribbean and African history in London. Through interactive discussion and educational experiences, this tour company uncovers 3,500 years of Black history.

Founded by Tony Warner in 2007, Black History Walks has since garnered worthy acclaim for its diverse program of walking tours, talks, educational courses, resources, and film events. In addition to its popular walking tours, the company also offers bi-monthly river cruises and bus tours. In addition to his tourism-based work, Warner also served as the first-ever Activist in Residence at a London-based university.

Two Oceans Travel & Tours

Two Oceans Travel & Tours is a premier tour company known for meticulously curated itineraries and personalized service. Their portfolio of destinations spans continents, although it has a long-running foothold on experiences in Africa.

Their team will craft an experience that immerses you in the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife that Africa boasts. From ancient deserts to vibrant cities, founder Maurice Foley ensures that every traveler discovers the soul-stirring nature of Africa. Whether you want to see the Serengeti or Marrakech, Two Oceans has curated tailored itineraries for more than two decades.

Black Heritage Tour of Amsterdam

Since 2013, founder Jennifer Tosch has amplified the otherwise little-known history of African legacies in Amsterdam. Working with a team of scholars, historians, public officials, businesses, and heritage tourism professionals, Tosch has left an imprint on those who take her tours. Currently exclusively offering private boat tours, the Black Heritage Tour explores hidden history through the canals of the city. Reservations must be confirmed at least two weeks in advance.

Jelani Travel

For nearly a decade, Jelani Travel has made travel to Africa easy with curated vacations for the culture. Currently operating in 16 countries, Jelani Travel tailors its travel experiences to focus on self-care, service, culture, and adventure. Popular group experiences that often sell out include itineraries in Kenya and Zanzibar, typically held in the summer.

Jelani Travel’s chief curator, Ashley N. Company, has traveled to over 100 countries and loves customizing luxurious and authentic experiences for individuals and groups. The company also works in tandem with the nonprofit organization Jelani Gives to empower the next generation and provide educational and cultural opportunities to Black children.

Commemorating National Black Travel Day without acknowledging the growth in wellness travel would be a major miss. Although not exclusively a travel company, OMNoire has become known as the go-to destination for vetted Black women-owned retreat experiences worldwide.

The visionary behind the brand, Christina M. Rice, expanded beyond her retreat hosting role to make space for and support other Black women facilitators. OMNoire’s list of upcoming retreat experiences includes destinations such as Portugal, Negril, Costa Rica, and Barbados.

Nomadness Travel Tribe

This travel lifestyle brand and community for Black and Brown nomads is more than 35,000 members strong on Facebook alone. With the sole pre-requisite of at least one passport stamp, founder Evita Robinson has simplified finding your people globally. Robinson also recently concluded the fourth installment of Nomadness Fest , a multi-day festival for travelers of color and allies to connect, learn, and share resources.

Experienced globetrotters looking for Tribe in various destinations know it’s fairly easy to do as a Nomadness community member. Whether you’re in Bali or Merida, Mexico, there are likely other Tribe members nearby, on the way, or with lasting connections they’re happy to share. No matter where you are in the world, there’s likely a Nomadness connection worth exploring.
