Proposed Travel Partnership
The world, curated for our community.
A proposed travel partnership creating thoughtfully curated global experiences for the Harvard Black alumni community, built on JetBlack Travel's operational expertise in international group travel.
A shared opportunity to connect beyond campus.
Harvard's Black alumni community extends across industries, generations, cities, and continents. JetBlack Travel proposes an opportunity to bring members together through thoughtfully curated international experiences built around culture, connection, discovery, and memorable shared moments.
The proposed partnership would allow HBAS to offer travel experiences to its members without independently managing the complex operational infrastructure behind international group travel: logistics, local partners, accommodations, and on the ground coordination.
This proposal outlines who JetBlack Travel is, the destinations already represented in its trip portfolio, and how a JetBlack × HBAS travel program could take shape. Nothing described here reflects an executed or finalized partnership. It is a starting point for a conversation.
Four reasons this pairing makes sense.
Community
Strengthen alumni relationships through shared international experiences designed around connection, not just sightseeing.
Culture
Itineraries designed to go beyond traditional tourism, making room for meaningful cultural engagement at every destination.
Convenience
JetBlack manages core travel logistics: communications, accommodations, transportation, and itinerary coordination.
Experience
Professionally curated journeys designed to feel elevated, social, and genuinely memorable for every traveler.
An established travel platform and community.

A community built around travel.
JetBlack combines travel operations with an established digital community, meaning any HBAS experience would be supported by an existing ecosystem of travelers, content, communication, and engagement.
An audience of engaged, well-traveled adults.
Audience Composition
Age Range
JetBlack's audience spans adults across these age groups, a strong overlap with an alumni community that spans decades of graduating classes.
