The TULU 2024 World Indigenous Tourism Summit will be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Through sharing and exchanging ideas across various fields, participants will collectively explore how to utilize Indigenous cultures and natural ecosystems to provide local perspectives in guided interpretation and to share the economic benefits brought about by tourism for the purpose of promoting the sustainable development of Indigenous tourism.
Established in March 2012, The World Indigenous Tourism Alliance (WINTA) was founded by Indigenous tourism organizations from six countries including the Indigenous Tourism Association of British Columbia, Canada, Western Australian Indigenous Tourism Operators Council, Indigenous Tourism Alliance, NZ Maori Tourism, Sami Tourism, and the Trans Himalayan Environment and Livelihood Program(T-Help). As the idea was suggested by leaders of the Larrakia people, the local aboriginal people in Australia, after the establishment of the organization, they announced the “Larrakia Declaration.”
Since 2018, the World Indigenous Tourism Summit (WITS) has been held every two years to conduct researches on Indigenous tourism policies, experience-sharing, and to provide strategies and consultation.
