Alabama State Black Chamber of Commerce In partnership with Pan African Cultural Heritage Alliances
Florida Black Chamber Mission & Services Unfortunately, there is no marketing infrastructure in place to support people of color in their search for ethnic products and services. Minority businesses are dependent on mainstream marketing, advertisement and promotional mediums have proven to be ineffective and too costly. This has created a cultural informational void. Business and tourism travelers are not aware of the products, services and special events cultural and minority businesses and communities have available; and communities, their cultural attractions, and most importantly, our minority businesses suffer, and remain invisible to the mainstream market. To address these and other problem areas, the National Cultural Heritage Tourism Center developed the following objectives:
Sharing “Our Cultural Knowledge and Experiences” in the areas of Commerce, Culture, Community, Education, Influence, Knowledge, and Faith; via established business, educational, social and tourism networks. The ultimate goal being to “Rebuild and Connect” the global people of PAN AFRICA, via the technology platforms of the internet and to use proven Cultural Economics and Heritage Tourism programs to develop Forgotten Communities, foster prosperity through business growth and job creation; and to facilitate cultural exchanges and services with other members of the African Diaspora, in partnership with the Pan African Cultural Heritage Alliance.
Now What?
The time for change is overdue! Don't you agree? Are you aware that...
There has never been an organized attempt to market and showcase the African American and Black Culture as a platform to the world, most importantly, to the Global Black Diaspora?
It is time to do something?
Here is what we know, African Americans have much to offer culturally, but they lack the organizational infrastructure to develop this resource properly. There are millions of African American businesses and countless Black communities that have been neglected... Yet, in terms of cultural heritage tourism products and services, there is a definite lack of involvement by African Americans.
When we come together, we can be a force to reckon with. We have so much to offer with our rich culture and talent.
Wouldn't you agree it's time we get our business and communities to thrive again?
