[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2856, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.dallasweekly.com/articles/travel-why-st-lucia-might-be-a-black-travelers-paradise/'][B]TRAVEL: Why St. Lucia Might be a Black Traveler’s Paradise - Dallas Weekly[/B][/URL] It’s been a rough year. The whole world has spent the better part of the past 12 months isolated and cooped up in their homes. Thanks to cautious measures and vaccinations, people are beginning to be able to emerge from this forced seclusion. The pandemic hit the travel industry hard. International flights especially were throttled back and came to a near standstill. But now the birds are flying again, and there are a lot of folks who are looking for the chance to get out and visit new places. Part of this is the normal urge to explore, but in this new time a big part of it is finding a setting to reset and just breathe. African Americans are part of a new and growing travel wave, well preceding the pandemic. According to a study conducted by Mandala Research prior to the advent of the coronavirus, the value of African American travelers increased from $48 billion in 2010 to $63 billion in 2018. It is safe to assume Black travelers will be among those looking to spread their wings as soon as possible, but where to go? For many travelers, a tropical island is highly desirable. In that vein, St. Lucia is an interesting and somewhat hidden option. For African American travelers looking to escape the daily grind in an organic wonderland, it may hold particular interest for a variety of reasons. While it is not at the forefront of destinations in the area, interest is growing enough that American Airlines has invested in a new non-stop weekly flight from Dallas to the island this month.
