Which black folk are great travellers? (3,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the jet set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'which black folk are great' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'travellers?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'travellers?' could be 'jetset' (I have seen 'Wealthy travellers' mean 'jet set' so perhaps 'travellers' could also mean 'jet set') and 'jetset' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'the' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for the jet set that I've seen before include "frequently found on planes?" , "Wealthy globetrotters" , "on a 747?" , "Black box" .)
