A group of Alaskans has formed a statewide, non-profit organization called Alaska Alliance for Cruise Travel (AlaskaACT) to promote accurate information and support responsible development and growth of Alaska’s tourism and the cruise industry.
Headed by a 12-person steering committee, AlaskaACT is focusing on the following goals:
• Create a positive business environment in Alaska for the cruise and tourism industries
• Encourage the Alaska Legislature and Administration to work toward a resolution of the current legal issues between the State and the cruise industry
• Oppose inequitable taxation directed at the cruise industry
• Support equitable environmental laws for the cruise industry
• Commit its resources to advancing the restoration and stability of the Cruise Industry in the best interest of Alaska, and Alaskans.
• Encourage accurate and honest reporting by the media
• Educate Alaskans about the economic benefits and positive environmental effects of the cruise industry on Alaska
• Support the cruise industry in their efforts to protect and preserve the environment through reasonable and attainable legislation
