The Aboriginal Tourism Association of British Columbia (AtBC) is a non-profit, membership-based organization that is committed to growing and promoting a sustainable, culturally rich Aboriginal tourism industry.
A sustainable Aboriginal tourism sector with diverse products in communities in every region of the province is recognized as one of the major focuses for achieving the target set by the Premier to double tourism revenues in B.C. by 2015.
Through training, information resources, networking opportunities and co-operative marketing programs, AtBC is a one-stop resource for Aboriginal entrepreneurs and communities in British Columbia who are operating or looking to start a tourism business. AtBC works closely with tourism, business, education and government organizations to help B.C.'s Aboriginal tourism businesses offer quality experiences and actively promotes these experiences to visitors and local residents.
This summer, AtBC is proud to be bringing an oustanding Aboriginal tourism experience to Vancouver. Building on the success of the Klahowya Village at the Pan Pacific Hotel during the 2010 winter games, AtBC will be transforming Stanley Park into an authentic Aboriginal tourism experience complete with a performance stage, artisan kiosks, Aboriginal food vendors and the Spirit Catcher Minature Train!
The proposed Klahowya Village was unanimously approved by the Stanley Park Board earlier this evening. The Klahowya Village has been planned to provide a number of activities including daily cultural performances, authentic cuisine, Aboriginal artist showcase, plus many other exciting experiences.
