Association hopes Canada will step up to help Indigenous tourism operators hurt by U.S. trade dispute – Fort Frances Times
Jul. 24, 2025
Information released at an event on July 15 in Toronto included details on the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada’s (ITAC) 2025-26 Operational Plan.
Officials have big aspirations as the organization marks its 10-year anniversary. The 2025-26 plan will focus on 10 main priorities.
ITAC is keen to return the Indigenous tourism industry to where it was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Canadian government assisted the industry by providing some financial relief to ITAC during the pandemic. This includes $16 million that the federal government provided in 2020. Now U.S. tariffs are causing ITAC businesses concern.
