Join Indigenous Tourism BC (ITBC) and help shape the future of tourism.

Indigenous tourism is a powerful tool for cultural revival, environmental stewardship, and economic empowerment. Tourism, guided by responsible and regenerative travel practices, connects visitors to the land and supports the preservation of Indigenous cultures. It’s more than just an industry—it’s a way to celebrate and share the richness of Indigenous cultures with the world.
