Saskatoon will be welcoming people from around the world this week for the 2018 International Indigenous Tourism Conference. Keith Henry from the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada says they’re expecting between 500-600 delegates to attend the two day conference. Henry adds that Saskatchewan is experiencing lower numbers when it comes to Indigenous Tourism compared to other provinces and territories. Overall, Indigenous Tourism has been booming and Henry says they would like to see Saskatchewan be a part of the future growth. That along with partnerships between Tourism Saskatchewan, Tourism Saskatoon, Dakota Dunes and Wanuskewin were among the reasons to host the annual conference in Saskatoon. Henry adds this year’s conference will provide an opportunity for people to get up to date research including a new vision to help grow Indigenous tourism across Canada. Those interested in attending the event can do so by visiting the Indigenous Tourism Conference website.
The two day conference runs Tuesday October 30th and Wednesday October 31st at TCU Place.
