The rise of indigenous tourism is arguably the most positive travel trend in years. According to the World Bank, ‘indigenous peoples own, occupy, or use a quarter of the world’s surface area’, ‘safeguard 80 percent of the world’s remaining biodiversity’, and ‘hold vital ancestral knowledge and expertise on how to adapt, mitigate, and reduce climate and disaster risks’. If ever there was a well-timed and much-needed innovation, the focus on indigenous tourism is it. And we’re at the forefront of the movement, developing itineraries and relationships that focus on the natural guardians of our most precious planetary assets, allowing for thoughtful interactions that are mutually beneficial to both visitors and local communities alike.

Indigenous Tourism Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

With a global shift towards protecting the rights of Indigenous communities, we have launched a new collection of itineraries which focus on the protection of indigenous people and their culture and traditions.

Indigenous tourism allows you to interact with communities from the Samis of Swedish Lapland to the First Nations of Canada, all of whom have a profound relationship – both physical and spiritual – with their traditional lands. Whether you take part in traditional practices, learn about indigenous history, art and culture, or stay in accommodation that is run by indigenous groups, it offers a more profound understanding of the destination, and helps these communities at the same time. A genuine win-win situation.
