BLK RVA Advisory committee

BLK RVA promotes African American tourism by positioning the Richmond Region as a multicultural hub centered around four key pillars: Arts and Entertainment, Food and Drink, Community, and History. The program aims to serve as a beacon of equity and inclusivity by supporting a thriving ecosystem of diverse hospitality and tourism businesses, ensuring that Black-owned businesses share in the economic impact of local tourism.

To ensure BLK RVA remains community-driven, Richmond Region Tourism (RRT) established a regionally represented volunteer BLK RVA Advisory Committee to help guide its future.
