The number of Black and BIPOC / BAME travellers is at an all time high, with African Americans spending $63 billion on travel in 2018 in the United States alone. Yet within the travel industry, these groups are underrepresented in leadership, marketing and storytelling. Join G Adventures for an open conversation on Race in Travel where we will explore how we can all contribute to making travel more inclusive and how collectively we can create more equity and fairness across the travel industry. Sign up here to join this important conversation.About the panellists

Section 2: Spin Straw into Gold
If you're in a pinch and have a murderous king who is demanding that you spin straw into gold overnight or have your head cut off, don't worry, we're here to help and save your head.
The gold we create from straw is 100% authentic gold, and is backed by our personal guarantee. Your murderous king won't be able to tell the difference between our StrawMade™ gold and the real thing. The crazy, brutal, bipolar king will be so happy with the gold, that instead of chopping off your head, he'll make you his queen instead!

No Job too Large
If you've got just a small tower room filled with straw, or a whole gigantic hall, we can convert it all to gold.
