These are uncommon journeys, places and adventures with the power to ignite the spirit and enrich the soul. The JG Black Book Collection promises discerning travelers the best in global travel.

Stretching across six continents, the Collection is an ensemble of sights, senses and stories. What unites them is a common commitment to excellence and a belief in the singular power of travel to surprise, to delight and to transform. They have carefully chosen their members to help you break through the noise that often comes with the decision to travel. They hope to be a trusted guide as you seek out tomorrow’s journeys and invite you to join them in their continuing pursuit of discovery.

Central to JG Black Book’s mission of leading the world to inspired destinations is the belief that travel leads to a more connected, tolerant and peaceful world. By working to harness the power of the tourism industry and travelers themselves, we can ensure that the natural and cultural wonders that make these destinations so special are sustained for future generations to experience and learn from.
