West, a long-time Alaskan,
feels strongly that this new
! concept in deluxe tourist trans
portation to Alaska will help
the economy of the State by
greatly increasing the number
of visitors.
“Not only will more tourist
dollars be spent in Alaska,”
West says, “but the more
people who see our wonderful
state - with its natural advan
tages and its expansion poten
tial - the greater the number
will be who want to move here
permanently.”
Moderately priced round
trip tours between Washington
and Alaska will range in length
from 11 to 23 days, with pass
engers having the option of
combining the new motor coach
travel with ferry, cruise ship,
rail and air transportation, ei
ther north or southbound.
Schedule dates, advance res
ervations and detailed informa
