The 49th state and self-styled Last Frontier is benefitting big from the pent-up demand for summer travel.
Not only is Alaska open for tourism, but the stateâs geographic vastness means social distancing was a thing well before coronavirus. It is no wonder, then, that airlines, including Alaska Airways and rival Delta Air Lines, have ramped up service as demand nears pre-pandemic levels.
âMy administration is aggressively marketing Alaska and Alaskans to the rest of the country and world,â Gov. Mike Dunleavy said. âI am more than optimistic that the summer 2021 tourism season in Alaska will rebound and communities across the state will be able to welcome visitors and show off exactly what makes our state one of the best destination places in the world.â
