Purpose

The FNTMP can support you to grow your tourism business by connecting you with expert advice, tailored learning and access to culturally respectful industry specialists.

Overview

If you are a First Nations tourism business and you have aspirations to grow, the FNTMP will give you access to free one-on-one mentoring, delivered in a way which suits your needs.

The FNTMP can support you to grow your tourism business by:

  • connecting you with industry professionals who can provide free, one-on-one advice
  • and culturally respectful support
  • providing access to a suite of learning supports and resources developed for and tailored to the First Nations tourism sector.

The mentoring will be delivered by industry specialists who have:

  • tourism industry knowledge and experience including understanding of local tourism opportunities
  • experience working in a culturally appropriate and respectful manner with First Nations businesses and/or communities
  • previous experience providing business advice and support (including mentoring) and/or owning and operating a business.

It is a flexible program and the mentoring will be a mixture of face to face and online as preferred.

Mentees will have an initial, one-on-one meeting with their mentor to discuss the current state of their business, their goals and objectives and to agree on the duration and frequency of mentoring as per the table below. 

Limitations

The FNTMP is open to businesses that are:

  • at least 50 percent First Nations-owned
  • currently operating in the tourism sector or associated supply chain (e.g. cafes and restaurants, accommodation providers, etc.)
