Indigenous Tourism: Stories, Collaboration, and the Path Forward

Andrew Siegwart is joined by Indigenous tourism leaders Kevin Eshkawkogan (Indigenous Tourism Ontario), Henry Tso (Indigenous Tourism British Columbia), and Robert Bernard (Nova Scotia Indigenous Enterprise Network) to discuss the transformative impact of Indigenous tourism in Canada. Kevin, Henry and Robert share their personal journeys into the industry and reflect on how Indigenous tourism fosters reconciliation, cultural revitalization, and local prosperity. The conversation highlights the importance of authenticity, community-driven approaches, and the need for collaboration across regions. The episode also introduces the Indigenous Coalition of Tourism Champions, a new initiative aimed at uniting provincial organizations to amplify Indigenous voices and support grassroots development. Listeners gain insight into innovative programs, such as cultural authenticity designations and frontline training, and receive recommendations for unique Indigenous tourism experiences from coast to coast. The episode emphasizes the value of storytelling, partnership, and building a more inclusive and meaningful tourism landscape in Canada.
