‘Tour Selma’ app aims to attract and educate tourists in the Black Belt

AC Reeves created a tourism app to help guide visitors through Selma.

By Cindy Fisher | Selma Sun Staff 

Selma tourism advocate AC Reeves has created a Tour Selma app for visitors to use to get the most out of their trip to the historic city. 

The app includes a guided 90-minute walking tour with audio recorded by Reeves about important landmarks and she hopes to add other Selma residents’ perspectives in the app tour so visitors learn about Selma as a whole. 

Reeves also plans to grow the app to include tours throughout the Black Belt to keep tourists in the region longer. She has already discussed expanding to Greensboro and Eutaw.  

Over the years, Reeves has found herself chasing down tourists who are walking the bridge or going to a museum to tell them about other attributes of the Queen City. Three years ago, after the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday events, she started the process of making an app for future events and everyday visits to better inform and capture tourists while in Selma.
