May 27, 2026
In a statement, the Canadian Association of Tour Operators (CATO) has expressed its strong support for the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) and underscored the importance of sustained and stable funding for the organization and its initiatives.
CATO points out that over the years, ITAC has played a critical role in advancing Indigenous tourism across Canada, fostering meaningful economic opportunities for Indigenous communities while enriching the Canadian tourism experience through authentic cultural engagement and reconciliation in action.
In fact, the organization said that many of our CATO member tour operators have worked closely with ITAC for several years to help develop and promote tourism experiences and tour packages in partnership with Indigenous communities across the country and abroad.
