Sponsor the International Indigenous Tourism Conference

Sponsorship Opportunities

The Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) invites you to support the 2024 International Indigenous Tourism Conference (IITC) as a sponsorship partner.

Conference Theme

The conference theme is Where Nations Meet, a call to action for visitors to experience a rich tapestry of Indigenous tourism — through enriching stories, connection to place and Indigenous hospitality.

Background

ITAC is proud to be hosting the 11th International Indigenous Tourism Conference (IITC) on the unceded Algonquin Anishinaabeg Territory in Ottawa, Ontario, from February 26–28, 2024. This international event has been successfully hosted by ITAC and delivered through the partnerships of the various regional Indigenous tourism organizations, having already been delivered in Manitoba, British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The 2023 IITC in Winnipeg, Manitoba, exceeded expectations with sold-out success and brought together Indigenous tourism operators from across Canada and around the world for three days of sharing best practices and networking. Over 1,000 delegates participated in panel discussions, breakout sessions, keynote presentations and local cultural experiences.
