Green Book Global, the first and only Black travel booking and review platform, is proud to announce the launch of its new Road Trip Planner tool. This innovative web application is designed specifically to assist Black travelers in planning safer, more enjoyable road trips across the United States by leveraging community-driven insights and data.
Inspired by the historic Negro Motorist Green Book, a beacon of guidance during the Jim Crow era, Green Book Global's Road Trip Planner serves as a modern-day guide. These curated routes prioritize safety and inclusivity. The tool incorporates feedback and ratings from thousands of Black travelers, enabling users to chart routes that avoid areas with a history of being unwelcoming or unsafe.

Lawrence Phillips, Founder and CEO of Green Book Global, emphasizes the significance of this launch: "Our mission has always been to empower Black travelers with information that fosters a safer and more inclusive travel environment. With the Road Trip Planner, we are turning the collective experiences of our community into a powerful tool that maps out the best routes and highlights areas to avoid based on historical and recent data. This is more than a planning tool; it's a new layer of security for our community."
The Road Trip Planner features include:
-
Personalized Route Planning: Tailor your road trip based on authentic reviews and safety ratings from the Black travel community.
-
Avoidance of Historically Unwelcoming Towns: Access a comprehensive database of legacy Sundown Towns and cities that have historically been unwelcoming or unsafe for Black travelers, helping you plan alternative routes for a stress-free experience.
-
Community Insights: Utilize reviews and experiences shared by fellow travelers to celebrate Black landmarks, hidden gems, and local treasures recommended by the community.
Green Book Global is committed to continuously updating and refining the Road Trip Planner to meet the evolving needs of Black travelers nationwide.
