Akwesasne Travel is the tourism brand of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe. We develop cultural tourism opportunities and promote visitation to the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, which extends into the US and Canada along the St. Lawrence River.
The Akwesasne community has had a vested interest in cultural tourism for over 10 years as a strategy to preserve and share our cultural heritage, and provide opportunities for employment and economic development.
In two community studies, Sharing the Spirit (2008) and the Akwesasne Comprehensive Community Development Plan (2009), our people indicated a desire to explore cultural tourism as an opportunity for economic development.
The Akwesasne Tourism Working Group was established in 2013 with the involvement of key community organizations. The ATWG developed the Akwesasne Cultural Tourism Strategic Plan (2014), later refined to become the Akwesasne Tourism Strategic Action Plan (2016).
