Partner with us and support the Aboriginal tourism sector


Aboriginal Tourism Western Australia (ATWA) is a DGR registered charity. We have long term philanthropic partnerships, committed to the development of Indigenous social enterprises for Australia’s social, economic, environmental, and cultural benefits. As the entity attracting the funds for creating, supporting and growing Aboriginal businesses in Western Australia, it works in lockstep with WAITOC, the public facing, member body for the WA Aboriginal tourism sector and their global markets. WAITOC has been operating as a not for profit since 2002.

Indigenous entrepreneurs on country are establishing social enterprises through tourism, developing social, economic, environmental, and cultural benefits. If you would like to align with our goals of preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures and traditions to future generations through tourism, please contact us for a conversation.
