tourism product Indigenous culture is a unique point of difference in the experiences offered in the Australian tourism industry. The living cultures of Australia’s Indigenous peoples, and its more than 40,000 years of history, are what give Australia its uniqueness as a tourism destination.
Australia’s Indigenous peoples are proud of their unique heritage and living cultures. They are also willing to share with visitors, parts of their culture, the meanings they attribute to the Australian landscape, their practices, beliefs and values. What is asked in return is respect. There are unique social and communication skills that need to be observed and the importance of caring for country is paramount.
Aboriginal Tourism Australia recommends and promotes tour operations that embrace the principles of authenticity and cultural integrity and which encourage respect and consideration of Indigenous customs, spiritual and religious beliefs. Look for operators that display the Respecting Our Culture logo. For more information check out Authenticity and Cultural Integrity.
