Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler has been recognized by the World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards as the World’s Leading Indigenous Community Tourism Initiative for 2025. The award highlights the resort’s ongoing commitment to genuine collaboration with local Indigenous partners and to sustainable tourism practices.
Key to this achievement are long‑standing relationships with the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre and Skwálwen Botanicals. Guests can join complimentary guided tours of the cultural centre, gaining insight into the traditions, art and history of the region’s First Nations. The resort’s award‑winning spa also works with Skwálwen Botanicals to incorporate Indigenous plant knowledge into its treatments and product line, honoring the land’s original custodians.
The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing equity, community resilience and responsible consumption. By placing Indigenous leadership at the core of its sustainability strategy, Four Seasons Resort Whistler sets a benchmark for cultural integrity within luxury hospitality.
