Indigenous involvement
in tourism is a valuable contributor to building and
diversifying regional economies. This forum provides
an insight into successful strategies for indigenous
communities who wish to engage with tourism - as a
source of income and employment; as a vehicle to celebrate,
share and conserve culture; and as an opportunity
for entrepreneurial endeavour. Speakers will address
key trends in indigenous involvement in tourism and
spotlight case studies of successful innovation.
