The American Indigenous Tourism Association is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing Indigenous tourism across the United States and its territories. Established to address inequities in the tourism system, the group aims to define, introduce, grow, and sustain Indigenous hospitality that honors traditions and values, with governance by an all-Indigenous board. It serves as a collective voice for the Indigenous hospitality sector, positioning itself within the nonprofit sector focused on cultural heritage and economic development through tourism. Based in the United States, the organization has operated for more than 27 years and engages in legislative advocacy, including involvement with the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act (NATIVE Act) enacted in 2018. Its work includes partnerships with federal agencies and industry groups to advance cultural heritage tourism, and it maintains a national scope aimed at supporting Native Nations and communities in achieving economic sovereignty and cultural recognition through tourism.
