Quebec Aboriginals are aware and proud of their rich and absolutely unique hospitality, culture and ancient skills. To continue to improve their sometimes difficult living conditions, Aboriginal communities strongly encourage entrepreneurs to initiate programs that promote their identity and perpetuate their traditions.

The past few years have seen a growing international demand for ethno-cultural, ecological and adventure tourism and this has opened up an ideal niche for Aboriginal tourism products.

The eleven Aboriginal nations in Quebec are found throughout fifteen different tourist areas. While their locations allow them to offer very diversified tourism products, the isolation of these businesses, communities and nations constitutes the greatest challenge facing the development of Aboriginal tourism.

A nonprofit organization, the Quebec Aboriginal Tourism Corporation is the fruit of serious reflection on the part of people from various nations having an interest in tourism who wanted an efficient instrument to advance their economic development.
