ITBC is currently working with all level of government to address this concern. We continue to advocate for Indigenous-led solutions and Stimulus Development Grant for our Indigenous tourism businesses to fill in the gaps of the current grants and funding that Indigenous businesses are not eligible for.

News and information about the spread of COVID-19 is coming at us quickly. It can be hard to remain calm given all that is going on.

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) has created a COVID-19 WEB PORTAL: to help BC First Nations people and their health care providers and community leaders to get the information they need to keep themselves and others safe. It has resources for individuals, families, communities, health professionals and community leaders.
ITBC encourages businesses to still post on media to keep your experience on top of mind. For example, you could analyze your highest preforming posts from the last few years and share them again reminding viewers that now isn’t the time to travel but you can’t wait to have them visit again.
Sample ending of social posts during COVID-19: For now we pause, stay in, and dream of later. The more we do today, the sooner we can all #ExploreBC again. Please do your part and #stayhome until it’s safe to travel. For information and future travel inspiration, visit: https://www.indigenousbc.com/ #IndigenousBC
