Indigenous Tourism Resource Portal
Call for Resources
Please help us build the largest database
of Indigenous tourism resources ever created
WHAT IS THE INDIGENOUS TOURISM RESOURCE PORTAL?
The Indigenous Tourism Collaborative of the Americas (ITCA) is assembling an Indigenous Tourism Resource Portal, an easily accessible, comprehensive inventory of tools and resources to help Indigenous peoples and their stakeholders and partners develop and better manage tourism. The Portal will be leveraged to achieve sustainable Indigenous tourism throughout the Americas — US, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, and South America — to rebuild the sector following the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2022.
ITCA is an advisory network of Indigenous leaders and non-Indigenous tourism leaders working together to recover from COVID-19, build capacity and resilience in Indigenous tourism and gain respect and inclusion for Indigenous tourism leadership in governments and the tourism industry.
Interested in Helping Indigenous Communities by Submitting a Resource?
HOW YOU CAN HELP
ITCA is currently collecting existing applicable tools and resources to include in the Indigenous Tourism Resources Portal. The types of tools and topic areas we are collecting are listed below.
Please review the requested topics and tools below before submitting. Submissions will be analyzed by a team for inclusion in the Portal. Your resource(s) will be placed in a database and considered for inclusion.
Please note that in case you have a resource planned or under development but not available currently, after the initial call, the ITCA Portal will continue to review and accept submissions on a rolling basis. This is an ongoing process that will evolve and grow over time.
