American Indian Outreach
AOT offers a number of programs to support American Indian Communities across Arizona.
Cultural heritage tourism, including the American Indian experience, is an integral component
of AOT's marketing efforts.
American Indian Resources
Tribal tourism offices and entities are encouraged to participate in AOT’s various marketing or community programs. Tribes interested in participation opportunities can contact Dawn Melvin, AOT’s Tribal Tourism Manager, at [email protected] or at 602-364-3707.
In addition to the resources provided by AOT, this page provides other available resources for Tribes seeking information that would support Tribal tourism development, programming and marketing efforts.
The NATIVE Act
The Native American Tourism & Improving Visitor Experience (NATIVE) Act, or Public Law 114-221, serves to establish a more inclusive national travel and tourism strategy and has the potential to deliver significant benefits for tribes, including job creation, elevated living standards, and expanded economic opportunities.
