Truth and Reconciliation – Destination BC

At Destination BC, Truth and Reconciliation is both a responsibility and an opportunity to build understanding, equity, and connection within the BC tourism industry.

To meaningfully support the Respectful Growth of Indigenous Tourism, we will focus our efforts internally first. Looking within our organization ensures that our efforts are purposeful and impactful.

Being respectful of the growth of Indigenous tourism means we recognize each Nation’s inherent Rights and Titles and their sovereign approach to tourism. We work with First Nations communities that decide how they will engage in tourism. We understand that tourism is an opportunity for Indigenous Peoples to share their cultures, stories, songs, languages, and traditions on their own terms.
