How to Travel Responsibly

Travel can affect Indigenous Peoples and their communities, languages, cultures, waters, animals, and lands. Indigenous Tourism BC shared a guide on how to honour and respect Indigenous Peoples when travelling in British Columbia through responsible tourism practices that create benefits for all involved.

 

Travel responsibly. Everything is connected.

Responsible travellers respect the guidelines set by Indigenous communities and seek to understand more about historical and cultural differences. Your travel plans affect Indigenous Peoples–their communities, languages, cultures, waters, animals, and lands. 

Indigenous Peoples are stewards of some of the most biodiverse and remote areas in British Columbia and protectors of the rare plant and animal species, abundant waters, and diverse terrain that draw visitors from around the world.

Build learning and respect into your plan for adventure.
