Now THIS…looks interesting – I know the quote for people in the US with passports is low in the US so this is a niche within that minority, great concept, well designed and supported by Nelson George…big things!

American Airlines announced it is launching a first-of-its-kind social networking site,BlackAtlas.com, which combines the best features of a travel site with the power of social networking to create a dynamic online community for travelers to share experiences unique to the black community.
User content will be anchored by travel video blogs and commentaries from author, filmmaker, television producer and world traveler, Nelson George, who will serve as the BlackAtlas.com travel expert at large. Unique travel content for the site is currently being collected at BlackAtlas.com. The site is scheduled to fully launch later this month.
“I love to experience new cities, new food and meet new people. I love the thrill of discovering black culture everywhere, and so many African Americans feel the same way I do,” said Nelson George. “I want to entice more people to hit the road by giving them a different, and hopefully fresh, angle on travel through BlackAtlas.com.”

“Interesting,” is all I can say.
I guess it depends which end you’re looking at it from, another niche in the travel market for people looking for specific things.
