Workshops

Build Indigenous Tourism

Presenting Organization

Indigenous Tourism BC

Description

Join us at Indigenous Tourism BC for an informative session about how Indigenous tourism plays an important role in growing sustainable, culturally rich experiences for visitors and locals alike. Indigenous tourism is an economic development tool that restores culture, traditional language and empowers our knowledge keepers. As many communities shift away from extractive industries, tourism provides a strong alternative source of income. Indigenous led tourism is a rapidly growing industry. We are dedicated to building up our existing stakeholders and passionate about extending tourism into your communities. Learn about how we are strengthening our roots and branches to create a more vibrant Indigenous future through grants and resources.
