In the summer of 2024 alone, 2.7 million visitors traveled to Alaska, with even higher volumes expected in 2025, a sign of sustained and resilient demand across the variety of travel sectors that Alaska has to offer. From cruise tourism and Northern Light excursions to cultural experiences rooted in Alaska's history, Alaska's diverse tourism sector offers a wide array of opportunities.
Ongoing infrastructure developments continue to drive the industry's growth. Recent port developments in Klawock, Whittier, and planned expansions in Seward are increasing cruise capacity, which accounted for nearly 1.7 million visitors last season. Newly developed trail systems in Denali National Park's front country are expanding access for visitors and creating new avenues for recreation-focused services and partnerships aligned with Alaska's long-term tourism growth. As demand for immersive travel continues to rise, Alaska is uniquely positioned for continued development across multiple tourism sectors.
