Women in Cultural Tourism
Since the beginning, way back in the Dreamtime first nations women in Australia have always had an important role. They are the givers of life, they are in our stories, our songlines, cultural practises and are part of the cultural obligations to care for land and sea country, waters and skies and to ensure the continuation of cultural legacy’s follow on from past, present and into the future.
Women guarantee that culture continues, they are the carers and nurturers of culture women, they keep family and kinship connections strong, community safe and country looked after, they are keepers of story’s and practises that have been passed down from generation to generation, they are leaders that keep community and family together, culture strong and connections maintained.
FNIWITA women believe cultural tourism is the right platform for caring for country, sharing stories, cultural experiences and cultural products. We will support your journey in all areas of tourism where we can, working together will keep culture alive. As women we understand women and their family and cultural responsibilities and know more support is needed to continue these roles. FNWITA is here to support and guide your journey.
