“…The predominance of domestic tourists in the context of this research contrasts with other authors' conclusions that state that 'Indigenous tourism is generally more attractive to international tourists than domestic tourists' (Vermeersch, Sanders, Wilson 2016; see also Ruhanen, Whitford, McLennan 2015;Ryan and Huyton 2002). Similar to the case studied by Vermeersch, Sanders and Wilson (2016), the Australian visitors in my case study are predominantly 'experienced' travellers, and some of them have experienced Indigenous tourism before. Some tourists I have met have even lived or worked in Aboriginal communities.…”

Based on ethnographic research conducted with Bardi and Jawi people, an Indigenous group from the Northwestern Kimberley region of Western Australia, the aim of this paper is to approach the complexities related to Indigenous tourism in Australia through the politics of knowing and not-knowing as embodied by Indigenous tour guides and non-Indigenous tourists. It examines the notion of knowing (or not knowing) and its usages by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in the context of their tourist encounter. 'Knowing' represents an important aspect through which Aboriginal people and their non-Indigenous guests negotiate their interactions. In particular, the paper shows how Indigenous and non-Indigenous expectations from tourism lead actors to adopt divergent positions and to assert renewed claims in relation to knowledge or knowing, casting new light on issues of selfrepresentation and empowerment in the domain of Indigenous tourism.

“…With domestic visitors in particular, generation Y in particular was averse to engaging in Aboriginal tourism. This result lends support to the qualitative study of Vermeersch et al (2016) which explains that generation Y is more interested in self-interest pursuits and international experiences when it came to Aboriginal tourism.…”

“…Based on the compiled data from 2013 to 2015, Indigenous tourism visits were much higher for the international visitors compared with domestic visitors as seen in Table 1. Globally too, this is the case (Vermeersch et al, 2016). It has been argued that Australians do not necessarily want to see their own backyard as they have been exposed to Aboriginal culture in school and in the environment around them, so there is less fascination with Indigenous tourism (Abascal et al, 2015; Buultjens et al, 2010).…”

Using recent nationwide panel data, an analysis considering the factors that influence the choice of Aboriginal tourism was undertaken. Although international visit numbers were larger than domestic, the former and not the latter is found to be on a decline over time. Gender does not influence domestic visits but females among international visitors are more likely to participate in Aboriginal tourism. Evidence also shows that international marketing strategies aimed at first-time visitors and adult couples, while domestic marketing efforts towards the friends and relatives travel group are likely to work. Blending Aboriginal tourism with attractions in the natural environment and wildlife for international tourists, and for domestic visitors, incorporating it in often visited regional areas can raise participation in this tourism form.

“…When examining the impact of Māori values on environmental sustainability, findings reflect existing research that highlights indigenous peoples’ responsibility as environmental guardians and practice sustainable tourism development (Beckford et al, 2010; Hillmer-Pegram, 2016; Vermeersch et al, 2016; K. Walker & Moscardo, 2016).…”

This paper explores the integration and impact of Indigenous cultural values on social, environmental and economic sustainability practices in New Zealand Māori tourism businesses. Utilising a Kaupapa Māori (Māori philosophy) paradigm, 12 respondents from 8 Māori tourism businesses were interviewed. Findings highlight the conscious implementation of indigenous cultural values through consultation processes and their extensive impact on staff, stakeholders, wider community and natural environment through sustainable relationships based on hospitality, unity, belonging and self-determination, in line with the diverse economies framework. We argue that current shifts towards sustainable business practice in tourism reduces the perceived gap between indigenous and Western business approaches.
