The World Indigenous Tourism Alliance is the only indigenous created and managed organization recognized by the UNWTO and UN to advocate the rights of indigenous people in tourism through the application of the Larrakia Declaration (2012) and the UN Declaration on the Right of Indigenous People.
Reseach has shown that the respect of the rights of indigenous people is one of the highest priority to fight climate crisis, as indigenous people are the natural custodians of ancestral lands for millenaries. Connecting this wisdom to human rights and the tourism industry, WINTA will expose how the use of indigenous intelligence applied to tourism can have a powerful impact on a growing and often predatory travel industry.
WINTA would like to take the opportunity to welcome IUCN members to expand our collective work in order to address climate crisis with the support and transformation of the international travel sector.
