A group of Black executives from destination marketing organisations in the US have shared their experiences of race and racism and called for an “open dialogue” on the subject within the tourism industry.

Their stories were shown in a video entitled 5 Questions About Race, which premiered this week at Destinations International’s 2020 annual conference.

Running at eight minutes and 38 seconds, the film takes less time to watch than the eight minutes and 46 seconds a police officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd, leading to his death in Minneapolis on 25 May.
