Signature Travel Network has recently announced a significant partnership with the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada to launch exclusive Indigenous Tourism Education Modules. This collaboration aims to provide valuable resources for Indigenous tourism in Canada and educate travel professionals about the importance of Indigenous communities in the country. The three-part series, developed in conjunction with Destination Canada, will serve as a comprehensive guide for travel advisors looking to incorporate Indigenous tourism into their itineraries.
Empowering Travel Advisors
The Indigenous Tourism Education Modules will equip travel advisors with the necessary knowledge and tools to promote and support Indigenous tourism in Canada. By offering insights into Indigenous communities and their impact on tourism, the modules aim to raise awareness about the unique experiences and products created by Indigenous entrepreneurs. Advisors will have the opportunity to design specialized itineraries centered around Indigenous culture or seamlessly integrate Indigenous-owned products into existing travel plans.
The training program developed by the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada covers a wide range of topics, including an overview of Indigenous communities in Canada, an introduction to ITAC’s accreditation program „The Original Original,“ and a detailed exploration of Indigenous experiences near cruise ports in the country. By providing in-depth knowledge about Indigenous cultures and practices, the modules seek to encourage travel professionals to engage with and support Indigenous tourism initiatives.
The partnership between Signature Travel Network, ITAC, and Destination Canada underscores a shared commitment to highlighting Indigenous tourism in the travel industry. By launching exclusive education modules, Signature aims to empower its members to become advocates for Indigenous communities and promote sustainable tourism practices. The collaborative efforts of these organizations demonstrate a collective responsibility to preserve and celebrate Indigenous cultures in Canada.
Looking Towards the Future
The Indigenous Tourism Education Modules are set to launch at the end of September and will be exclusively available to Signature members until the end of the year. Following this period, the modules will be accessible to a wider audience through ITAC’s website in January. By prioritizing Indigenous tourism and investing in education initiatives, Signature and its partners are paving the way for a more inclusive and culturally rich travel industry. Travel advisors are encouraged to embrace learning opportunities that promote diversity and respect for Indigenous traditions.
