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

During the pandemic, many of us have gotten creative with how we celebrate the holidays. The Sitka Chamber of Commerce has adapted by creating the “Share Your Spark” campaign, a way to connect during the time of social distancing. The campaign started during the Fourth of July celebrations, and now it’s continuing into the holiday season. KCAW’s Brooke Schafer spoke with Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rachel Roy about how Sitkans can participate.
Sitkans can participate in the holiday “Share Your Spark” campaign by participating in a holiday lights map, sharing photos of community service on social media and shopping local. For questions, you can visit sitkachamber.com or email communications@sitkachamber.com.
