Indigenous Tourism Fund: Signature Indigenous Tourism Experiences Stream Indigenous Tourism Fund: Signature Indigenous Tourism Experiences Stream From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada The Indigenous Tourism Fund (ITF) fosters sustainable growth for the Indigenous tourism industry in Canada.
The Signature Indigenous Tourism Experiences Stream (SITES) of the ITF aims to support tourism in Indigenous communities across Canada by scaling up significant, export-ready, market-sustainable and community-supported Indigenous key experiences and tourism destinations. SITES supports Indigenous tourism by funding selected projects that can serve as key tourism experiences.
These projects anchor other tourism-related businesses and offerings, fostering the development of tourism destinations. The program aims to enhance the supply of Indigenous tourism offerings, helping Indigenous tourism businesses attract high-yield international tourists who are interested in cultural experiences.
This growth in the tourism sector not only boosts revenue for these businesses but also stimulates economic growth by developing networks of smaller, locally-owned businesses. These networks can access new markets, develop new products, grow sales and create jobs within the community.
Additionally, the program aligns with the Government of Canada's commitment to building a strong Canadian economy and continues the vital work of advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. The National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA) , a non-profit overseeing more than 50 Indigenous financial institutions (IFI) across Canada, has been chosen to administer SITES.
Over the past 35 years, IFIs have handled over $3. 2 billion, boosting economic development in Indigenous areas, which makes NACCA an ideal partner for this initiative. Through a first round of funding, SITES allocated a total of $10 million in non-repayable contributions for the 2024–2025 period.
A total of 11 signature Indigenous tourism experiences across the country received funding. Based on the success of the first round, Budget 2025 noted an additional investment of $6 million for the 2025–2026 period. Selected projects will receive non-repayable contributions ranging from $500,000 to $1.
