Industry Spotlight #3: Indigenous Tourism Manitoba - Info Session
Indigenous Tourism Manitoba (ITM) exists to support and foster Indigenous tourism in the province. Aligned with Travel Manitoba and the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), ITM provides leadership, shares stories, and offers support to strengthen Indigenous tourism businesses' contributions to Manitoba's visitor economy.
Indigenous tourism is experiencing significant growth and demand both locally and internationally and attributes this growth in most part to our Indigenous-led approach to building and sustaining the industry.
Indigenous tourism has the potential to change perspectives, preserve culture, language, and traditions and provides opportunities to improve the socio-economic environment for Indigenous communities. Manitoba’s diverse landscape and Indigenous cultures lay the foundation to create and enhance unique world-class experiences!
Join our virtual event to learn more about Indigenous Tourism in Manitoba and learn how you can be part of this exciting new industry. You might be a budding entrepreneur, an industry partner, or someone who is interested in getting involved. We will be sharing the successes of our members, industry information, and how we are building relationships within industry.
