World Indigenous Tourism Alliance (WINTA)

Description

The purpose of WINTA is to provide a forum for Indigenous peoples seeking to draw upon and share their traditional experiences and universal Indigenous values, and through tourism, seek to address the need for balance and harmony both between different peoples and between people and environment.

The objects of WINTA are to provide a global network which:

-- Facilitates – The sharing of information and understanding between Indigenous peoples on the social, environmental and economic opportunities and issues arising from tourism developments globally;

-- Advocates – In support of Indigenous peoples wishing to develop responses to issues and opportunities arising from existing and proposed tourism developments and trends of global interest;

-- Networks - To enable Indigenous tourism leaders to participate in and contribute to international tourism forums

From Wakan Tanka, the Great Spirit, there came a great unifying life force that flowed in and through all things—the flowers of the plains, blowing winds, rocks, trees, birds, animals—and was the same force that had been breathed into first man. Thus all things were kindred, and were brought together by the same mystery.

Luther Standing Bear, 1933
