ResumoThe following report is a slightly edited version of testimony presented to the Canadian Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples in June 1993 by Barry Parker, Chairperson of the Canadian National Aboriginal Tourism Association (CNATA), Executive Director of the First Nations Tourism Association (FNTA) of British Columbia and a member of the Okanagan Nation. As interest in taking holidays among indigenous peoples grows, Mr Parker presents the views of one such group on the benefits that tourism can bring to them, the pitfalls to be avoided and the sorts of assistance they will need. A key requirement for success will be the placing of responsibility for tourism operations squarely within the hands of properly trained native people themselves.
