Recreational travel within British Columbia is now encouraged and we couldn’t be happier!
Thank you for your ongoing support, patience, and compassion.
Your support helped to keep many Indigenous Tourism BC operators keep their doors open this summer. We enjoy hosting your getaways and gatherings and continue to share our Knowledge and Culture, despite the profound challenges we face in our communities.
Indigenous Tourism BC continues to update our list of Indigenous tourism operators open for business. We remind travellers to respect the wishes of Indigenous communities. Some communities remain closed and some businesses listed may operate at a reduced capacity or accept locals only.
Please make sure you call and inquire ahead of time.
We walk gently and encourage education and exploration about the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures in British Columbia. This fall, continue to explore #IndigenousBC. Share your experience with others, and remember that patience and kindness count. For more information on current Provincial Health Orders, visit here.
Responsible tourism uplifts travel experiences that create positive impacts for all involved – not just the traveller. Your travel plans affect Indigenous peoples – their communities, languages, cultures, waters, animals, and lands.
Sustainability requires endurance, and Indigenous tourism operators are doing their best to keep going through the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, wildfires, and residential school findings. To ensure the sustainability of staff wellness, we ask that you also support these businesses with patience and compassion as they keep their doors open. They may be short-staffed. Their services may be affected. Remember to be kind.
Indigenous Tourism BC advises travellers to know before you go. Speak directly with tourism operators before travel for best planning.
