First Nations Tourism Mentoring ProgramInvesting in indigenous communities for tourism |
Australia aims to counteract the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, which resulted in precarious outcomes for businesses and workers within the tourism sector and disproportionately those working in indigenous tourism.
In 2021, Australia launched a mentorship programme designed to offer one-on-on support to indigenous-owned tourist businesses.
Through the programme, indigenous business owners strengthened their entrepreneurial skills and received guidance to support their long-term business goals.
