The main objective of STAQ is to create, through tourism, activities that favour the social and economic development of Aboriginal communities.

For this purpose, the Corporation strives to bring together the mutual and complementary interests of Quebec’s Aboriginal tourism entrepreneurs in a solid administrative structure dedicated to the development and promotion of their products. From the very beginning, STAQ drafted a strict code of ethics and a rigorous list of standards to guarantee the quality, safety and reliability of the operations, so as to meet the highest possible standards and to satisfy the stringent requirements of an international clientele.

At the present time, STAQ, with a membership of some ninety Aboriginal businesses and corporations, is already in a position to offer a wide range of ethno-cultural products in the company of authentic Quebec Aboriginals.
