I remember when #indigenoustourism was a nice after thought in the tourism industry in Canada. Times have changed and despite issues we face today, there is no doubt that Indigenous tourism in “core” to how we present Canada to the world. The @ITAC_Corporate team and partners such as @DestinationCAN @IndigenousMB @TravelManitoba and @TourismWPG made #Indigenous culture part of the opening reception at #RVC2025. Buyers from all over the world in Winnipeg this week for RVC and there is 69 ITAC members from throughout Canada, a 23% increase from last year, that are export ready and able to execute sales with international partners from several different countries! Thank you to our ITAC team and building the consumer brand #TheOriginalOriginal! Also amazing to watch the Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers perform for the delegates. Come explore Indigenous cultures this summer. #DestinationIndigenous #ITDF

Thank you to everyone who attending #2024iitc this week in Ottawa. Thank you @Ottawa_Tourism for our partnership support to make this an amazing international indigenous tourism global conference. Thank you to our entire @ITAC_Corporate staff! Thank you to my ITAC board chair @Tlingit_Drummer and vice chair Brenda Holder and of course the rest of the board. The highlight was the ITAC National Indigenius Tourism Awards last night. So proud of the Indigenous tourism nominations and winners. I am exhausted leaving today but wow what a week!! Can’t wait until next year in Montreal with @AutochtoneQC for the 12th conference. #indigenoustourismteamcanada #TheOriginalOriginal
