Twenty small businesses from across Australia have been chosen to champion Australia's Indigenous tourism in international marketing, and will be part of an intensive mentoring and training program with the support of Tourism Australia and Indigenous Business Australia. A significant focus of the Indigenous Tourism Champions program will be to work with these businesses to make sure they are represented and profiled in the global tourism sales distribution system so that international consumers can easily book them. The 20 Indigenous Tourism Champions include Kooljaman at Cape Leveque (Western Australia), Uptuyu Aboriginal Adventures (Western Australia) and Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park (Queensland).
