Shaped by extensive input and recommendations put forward by the community, five Trails to Tomorrow have been identified to address in leading tourism towards a sustainable future—this is the Indigenous Connections trail.
Through the Indigenous Connections trail, our objective is to champion Indigenous tourism as reconciliation in action. As protocols and interests of Indigenous groups allow, work together with Indigenous Communities, Peoples and Businesses to support market entry and elevate Indigenous tourism for a more enriching visitor experience, building cultural awareness and connection, and a thriving Indigenous tourism economy
To showcase how Banff and Lake Louise is advancing this trail, we’re sharing inspiring Stories from the Trails—real-life accounts of local initiatives, people, and projects that contribute to the vision to Lead Tourism for Good.
