PAN-l:A.C!t!C TOURS ' TO ALASKA
Travel to Alaska during the 1948 season
rill be greater than any other year in the
history of the Territory. This is the op
inion of I!r. Alson A. Bristol, president
of Fan-Pacific Rood Neighbor Tours, Inc.,
Seattle, rhose travel agency has organized
and operated a variety of tours to Alaska
since the end of the war.
A complete survey of conditions and tourist
facilities ras made by Ilr. Bristol on a re
cent business trip throughout Alaska. Al
though there is still a shortage of hotel
accommodations in the larger cities, he
stated that the situation is less acute
than last year with the new addition to thf
Westward Hotel in Ar.c horage • and the Thite
horse Inn, "Tiitehorse, Y.T., Canada; the
construction of a new hotel in Palmer, and
thfe Arctic Tent Village in Fairbanks. How
ever, northbound travelers are urged to
make their reservations early in order to
secure space on the dates desired. Zven
with*the additional hotel space made avail
able, it ^ill be impossible to accomodate
the thousands of neople who wish to visit
America’s last frontier this year.

throughout Alaska for its 3rd Arnual Alask;
