Will Threads be a better alternative to Twitter for B2B and media relations for tourism businesses? Will the tourism industry use it to reach new audiences? What's your thoughts on how the tourism industry will use the new Threads app by Meta?

Today, as we celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day, we take the time to reflect on our own values, both individually and as an organization. Learning about and appreciating the traditional territory where we live, grow and explore is continual.

We encourage you to seek out and invest in Indigenous experiences when planning your travels: cultural tours, art displays, traditional cuisine, shops & more! Economic empowerment in Indigenous reconciliation efforts must be recognized to actively contribute to building strong, more inclusive societies that respect and honour the diversity of Indigenous cultures, histories, and aspirations.
