Destinations International (DI), the world’s leading association representing destination organizations and convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs), today announced nine recipients of the Destinations International Foundation Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) and Hospitality Scholarship. Each student will receive USD $8,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year. To date, the foundation has raised more than USD $225,000 from individual and organization donors to support this program.
At Hunden Partners, we are committed to increasing access to tourism and destination real estate development careers for historically underrepresented populations. This is why we are excited to invest directly in the attendance of this year’s Destinations International Foundation’s Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) and Hospitality Scholarship recipients so they can attend DI’s Annual Conference in July. We look forward to meeting the scholarship recipients in Tampa and deepening our relationship with them through mentorship and networking during the conference and beyond. The support of this program, by numerous individuals, destination members, and partners, will foster workforce inclusion and provide invaluable opportunities, and we are happy to play a role in it.
