The Canadian Association of Tour Operators (CATO) has officially affirmed its support for the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada. This endorsement highlights CATO’s recognition of the association’s role in promoting Indigenous tourism across the country.
In a statement issued around late May 2026, CATO appealed to both tourism industry stakeholders and government authorities to strengthen their engagement and assistance for Indigenous tourism initiatives in Canada. The call emphasizes the need for collective efforts to advance Indigenous tourism development.
