Training and Workshops

Training and workshops are core to our Mission of supporting sustainable, authentic Indigenous tourism across British Columbia. Through programs like the Indigenous Tourism Training Initiative (ITTI), we empower Indigenous tourism workers, businesses, and communities by offering culturally centered training, professional certifications, and educational programs. These workshops build practical skills and ensure Indigenous voices and traditions are at the forefront of tourism development, creating experiences that honour cultural heritage while driving economic growth.

From developing tourism products to enhancing visitor experiences, ITBC’s training programs help Indigenous entrepreneurs and workers build capacity and thrive in the tourism industry. On-the-ground impacts include improved tourism infrastructure, market-ready businesses, and a workforce equipped to deliver authentic, meaningful experiences to visitors.
