Membership
American Indigenous Tourism Association
For more than 27 years, the American Indigenous Tourism Association has been the only national organization dedicated solely to Indigenous tourism across the United States and its territories.
Our work is rooted in place, story and community. We support tourism that honors living cultures, respects ancestral lands, and reflects Indigenous values, while creating meaningful economic opportunity for Native Nations.
We envision a future where Indigenous tourism is a powerful catalyst for economic sovereignty, cultural continuity and global understanding—where visitors are welcomed into authentic experiences shaped and led by Indigenous communities themselves.
