WELCOME TO THE INDIGENOUS TOURISM COLLABORATIVE OF THE AMERICAS
Tourism is providing tribes across the Americas a way to generate income, the opportunity to share their natural and cultural resources and greater agency over their lives and futures.
"Today there are 52.2 million Indigenous people in the Americas. This network is helping to give us a louder voice and greater visibility."
Dr. Myrna Cunningham PhD at Fund for the Development of Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean (FILAC)
We are a network of Indigenous leaders, tourism businesses, nonprofits, academics and policymakers working to develop sustainable tourism that…
- Respects cultural heritage
- Gives Indigenous people a voice
- Provides good and accurate information needed for self-governance and self determination
- Protects nature
- Facilitates healing and reunification
To provide Indigenous communities, tourism entrepreneurs, destination and community organizations, and policymakers with the information they need to develop and manage tourism businesses, we’ve created an extensive eLibrary – the first of the collaborative’s proactive projects.
