MTA-Mobile Travel Agents founders, Karen and Roy Merricks were fortunate to experience a performance by Bundjalung Kunjiel, a world travelled Aboriginal dance troupe, at a recent Virtuoso dinner hosted by Shangri-La Sydney.
Founded by Goompi Ugerabah, a.k.a Stephen Larcombe, over 11 years ago, the dance troupe presents Aboriginal culture through tribal song and dance.
“The performance was captivating,” said Roy Merricks “The culture and resilience shown by our First Nations People is one that all Australians should be proud to identify with. We’re looking forward to talking to the troupe to see how we can introduce more of our travellers to this exciting culture.”
In 2019 1.4 million international visitors to Australia*, and additional 1 million domestic visitors participated in an Indigenous tourism experience, contributing to the annual $5.8 billion that Indigenous tourism generates worldwide. This figure is expected to grow year on year presenting an exciting opportunity for Indigenous tourism.
