Join us in Perth in November 2026 for the Australian Indigenous Tourism Conference, a landmark, jam-packed 3-day First Nations conference filled with powerful conversations, immersive workshops, and industry-shaping insights.
AITC 2026 will explore current and emerging trends in travel and tourism, with a strong focus on the innovation, leadership and cultural strength driving Aboriginal tourism forward.
This leading First Nations-recognised forum is more than a conference, it's a meeting place for Aboriginal tourism operators, retailers, academics and agencies to connect, collaborate and grow. From showcasing authentic cultural experiences to building valuable business partnerships, AITC is where stories are shared and futures are shaped.
