Reindeer tourism, a via ferrata in Juneau, fishing trips designed to be more accessible to those with disabilities: These were some of the travel and tourism ideas Alaska entrepreneurs pitched to industry leaders at a recent trade show.
The Alaska Travel Industry Association’s end-of-season meetup offers insiders a sneak peek at some of the new travel options around the state.. Here, travel and tourism business leaders consider new ideas from Alaska entrepreneurs.“Reindeer have a unique history in Alaska,” said Olson.“We’re already offering short walks with the reindeer for $65 per person,” she said.
As she built out her trips, she added components that were important for her. She wanted her guides to be year-round Alaska residents. Also, she wanted to develop a model to donate a substantial sum to nonprofit organizations committed to conservation.Down in Juneau, Peter Nave has followed the story at Eaglecrest Ski Area. Eaglecrest recentlyNave thought Eaglecrest would be a good site for a “via ferrata,” which he calls a “combination between hiking and rock climbing.
Finnegan’s quest is to construct a custom boat with accessibility as a core design component. Travelers using wheelchairs are just one set of visitors. “Not all disabilities are visible,” said Flannigan. “Sometimes visitors with disabilities includes hearing or vision impediments, or PTSD,” he said. “Many travelers are on the autism spectrum.”
This made it difficult for the judges to choose winners, who received between $8,000 and $10,000 toward their idea.
