Pathfinders Travel Magazine for People of Color releases The Black List, The Best Places for Black Travelers and the Guide to Black America-Philadelphia (January 2007) - Pathfinders Travel Magazine for People of Color has published two features, just in time for Black History Month.
The Black List, The Best of Pathfinders, and the magazine’s annual
Year in Black America are featured in the January/February 2007 issue.
The Black List is similar to Conde Nast’s annual Gold List, which features the best destinations selected by its readers. Since 1997, the writers and editors of Pathfinders have literally traversed the globe in search of the most interesting, entertaining and insightful travel stories for and about people of color.
Pathfinders, the first magazine developed especially for Black travelers, has written about Black Paris and the original Black diva, Josephine Baker and traveled to South Africa for a firsthand look at life there after apartheid. It has covered the openings of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History (Detroit), the Muhammad Ali Center (Louisville, Ky.), the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (Cincinnati, Ohio), and the Reginald H. Lewis Museum of African American History (Baltimore).
Pathfinders has introduced readers to unforgettable stories such as the sailing of the Amistad, the Gullah culture along the sea islands, Black jockeys of the Kentucky Derby, photographers of the Civil Rights Movement, and Black golfing pioneers, to name a few. Along the way Pathfinders has met incredible people who have transformed lives by pursing their passions and opened historic homes, developed characters, and established tourism-related businesses that speak to the burgeoning heritage and cultural tourism markets.
When Pathfinders began publishing in 1997, the market was no where near as sophisticated as it is today as it relates to the diversity of travelers. There were many questions such as, “Why the need for a Black travel magazine?” But today, savvy marketers include goals for reaching the lucrative Black travel segment.
A Year in Black America is an annual guide that highlights heritage sights, culture and experiences relevant to the Black Experience. Featured are historic sites such as the Harriet Tubman home, The Muhammad Ali Center and the National Underground Railroad Museum. Editors may find this special insert of particular interest for Black History Month.
