Culture. Community. Connection.
Our Mission
To foster inclusivity, connection, and joy through curated experiences that bring travelers of color together. We believe that travel has the power to break barriers and build community, and we’re committed to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and welcomed—one passport stamp at a time.
How it Started
Black in Tulum emerged from a desire to create a meaningful space where BIPOC travelers could celebrate culture, build community, and cultivate connection in Tulum. What began in July 2020 as a Facebook group hosting intimate gatherings has blossomed into a thriving community, growing organically through unforgettable experiences rooted in joy and authenticity..
How it's Going
Black in Tulum has become the ultimate one-stop shop for travelers of color in Tulum. We currently host 5 to 7 events per week and offer full concierge and private trip planning services, offering experiences for every budget—from mobile massages to luxe yacht days. Whether you’re looking to network at brunch, turn up at one of our late-night weekly events, or enjoy a lazy beach day, we’ve got something for every vibe.
What's Next
The future is bright! We’re expanding our offerings, establishing more partnerships with local vendors—prioritizing Black and Brown-owned businesses— and keeping our community at the heart of it all. Get ready for more destinations, more experiences, and more opportunities to connect with Black in Tulum and other travelers of color.

The experience provided by the BIT group was truly exceptional. They meticulously planned my birthday celebration from start to finish. I indulged in the most exquisite edamame I have ever tasted, relaxed in a plunge pool, and rejuvenated myself in a beautiful sun-kissed spa. I also spent my birthday night dancing at a nearby lounge. I am deeply appreciative of this group and the wonderful memories they helped create.

What an incredible experience I had with Black in Travel and founder, Nubia Younge! From the moment I landed, transportation, private chef service, curated Black in Tulum events, networking opportunities, beautiful weather, cenotes, local food, local conversations, and unforgettable memories...a time was had! I would 100% recommend Black in Travel...

Nubia is fantastic! Our 4 night stay for a business retreat was well organized and had great excursions that allowed us to see the history of Tulum as well as the night life! She also had the connections to add additional experiences and services to accommodate our large group of twelve. If you're looking for a well planned and seamless retreat/vacation experience, book her!
