Travel has a way of opening our eyes, but it is even more powerful when we experience the world through an Indigenous lens.
The 2025 ICT Tourism Special Issue is here, featuring five all-new stories that take you from sacred lands to Native-owned experiences and to hidden gems you will not find anywhere else.
Inside, you will discover:
- Golf with Heritage: Tee off on a journey through Native golf history. Learn about Indigenous golfers who have shaped the game for over a century and how tribes are designing courses that celebrate culture, community, and the land.
- Native Tourism in Action: From Pueblo dwellings to luxury resorts, Indigenous communities are connecting travelers with heritage, food, fashion, and land stewardship while boosting local economies.
- Top Hot Spots: Explore the Great Smoky Mountains, Arizona deserts, Florida beaches, and more. Dine at James Beard award-winning restaurants, visit cultural sites like the Cherokee Qualla Boundary, or experience Indigenous flavors at Owamni in Minneapolis and The Frybread Lounge in Scottsdale.
- San Juan Islands: Kayak, hike, and honor sacred lands in this unique archipelago where nature and Coast Salish culture meet.
- Whether you are planning your next adventure or exploring from home, the ICT Tourism Guide invites you to see the world differently with stories that inspire curiosity, celebrate culture, and connect you to communities far and wide.
