It has emerged that, indigenous tourism has become a significant ‘getaway’ in which it has enabled people to develop confidence in the true meaning of life through maintaining a desirable live balance. Currently, indigenous tourism is regarded to as one of the most reliable ways of preserving indigenous culture, which is facing the threat of extinction owing to the forces of globalization characterized by the absorption of some cultures. The significance of indigenous tourism can be explained by the phenomenon of survival among the aboriginal people who passed over their knowledge onto others.
In reality, indigenous tourism is kept alive by its commercial aspect, although this aspect endangers the purity and delicacy of the aboriginal community, especially when inappropriate attitudes are adopted. Therefore, this paper will provide a comprehensive overview of the development of indigenous tourism in Australia and Canada. Concisely, it will focus on the principal approaches employed in establishing indigenous tourism such as the attraction of both domestic and international tourists.
