Welcome to regional information for Alaska.

The Alaska cruise ship industry:

• Brings more than half of all visitors to Alaska
• Has a $1.07 billion economic impact on Alaska
• Generates $767 million in direct industry spending
• Provides more than 13,000 jobs for Alaskans
• Spends approximately $70 million a year to market Alaska
• Makes more than $500,000 in charitable contributions
• Contributed $2 million to the Alaska Travel Industry Association to support programs advertising Alaska
• Purchased $4.3 million worth of seafood from Alaska vendors

Member lines of the North West CruiseShip Association are committed to making the 2007 cruise season just as enjoyable for Alaska residents as it is for visitors. That's why the NWCA member lines participate in Juneau's Tourism Best Management Practices (TBMP). The TBMP provides a list of guidelines to minimize the impact of tourism on Alaska's communities, while maximizing the Alaskan experience for cruise visitors.
