The workshop will showcase and celebrate some of the award- winning and innovative programs that are being rolled out to support the development of Aboriginal tourism experiences throughout the State. The program includes an overview of the role of WAITOC in supporting and mentoring Aboriginal tourism businesses and provides an insight into two successful and innovative programs, ‘Camping with Custodians’ and ‘Culture in the Parks’. The workshop will be interactive and will include both organisational and operator presentations and perspectives across the three Aboriginal tourism developmental programs.
