The BTT works with receptive tour operators helping them curate local, immersive Black cultural heritage tour itineraries for cities like Savannah. The Visit Savannah team hosted a luncheon with several Black tourism business leaders, Mayor Van Johnson, and County Commission Chairmen Chester Ellis. Their Savannah itinerary included lunch at Good Times Jazz Restaurant & Bar, stops at Savannah State University, Pin Point Heritage Museum, the Weeping Time Monument, and the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum.
