Summits in Edmonton, Calgary and a special virtual summit will help enhance economic viability of member businesses
In an effort to help grow Indigenous tourism in Alberta, Indigenous Tourism Alberta (ITA) is offering three summits (two already occurred in September) focusing on professional development for the tourism industry and tourism entrepreneurs.
The Roadshow Summits support ITA’s goal of enhancing economic viability, further engaging and supporting Indigenous peoples, and nurturing partnerships throughout Alberta.
Virtual Summit
The networking event starts November 3 at 7:00pm. Registrants will have access to all presentations for 7 days.
In response to COVID-19, Indigenous Tourism Alberta has worked closely with Alberta Health Services to rigorously follow all health and safety guidelines and to ensure a safe and fun learning and sharing environment.
“We are pleased to be able to present the ITA Summits for 2020, in an adapted environment due to our current situation with COVID-19. All three summits strive to support our Indigenous tourism business in Alberta, and ensure we continue to make an impact for our Indigenous communities well into the future,” said Shae Bird, Executive Director of Indigenous Tourism Alberta.
Participants at the Summits will hear keynote sessions about the social impacts of tourism, panel discussions on how to adapt your business through a pandemic, and join breakout sessions on marketing and building relationships. Delegates will discover pathways to success in Indigenous tourism in Alberta, as a community or business owner.
The Special Virtual Summit will be starting on Tuesday, November 3 at 7 pm with an online networking event and will use an interactive display with opportunities for participants to ask questions.
The registration cost of the Virtual Summit is $75, where they will have access to all presentations for 7 days.
