Talking Totem Tours
Inbound British Columbia Destination Specialist
Aboriginal Cultural Travel Tours
As a tour operator for Aboriginal Tourism we contract with cultural tour suppliers in British Columbia and develop packages that are marketed abroad to travel industry partners.
We have compiled a carefully selected list of high-calibre cultural tourism businesses and guides that are locally owned and operated by First Nations families. These families are highly regarded in the community and usually a whole family will get involved; children, parents, grandparents all sharing their time honored traditions.
We provide a range of optional services at our destinations, such as passenger transfers, add on tours, sports activities, special welcome ceremonies, site tours, camp set-ups and Aboriginal cuisine.
We operate as an inbound Canadian receptive booking operator for travel trade and tourism industry clientele worldwide.
Your clients will experience first hand the practice of environmental stewardship, social sustainability and be welcomed by genuine creative community members who share their knowledge with cultural integrity.
We deliver excellence in eco-travel experiences and unsurpassed flexibility in coordinating customized packaged travel. These package itineraries will enable your clients to tap into the rich culture that the First Nations People of British Columbia have to offer.
These community experts already deliver cultural awareness professional development workshops. They are experienced at facilitating cross-cultural training sessions to government, RCMP and visitors interested in learning the traditions of the First Nations of BC.
They love what they do so much they have agreed to guide & educate Talking Totem Tours guests wherever possible and we are greatful to have access to the leaders in the communities.
