Tourist Season
Heading For
Bumper Crop
Alaska’s tourist season is here
—it is not a dream for the future,
according to transportation agen
cies.
More passengers are booked for
northbound June sailings this
year than at the same time last
year, the Alaska Steamship Co.
reports.
Their 1951 tourist program, i
planned last fall, resulted in ads 1
in Outside daily newspapers and
national magazines, promotion
through travel agencies and traf- 1
fic representatives.
We believe the “late booking"'
trend will continue—and then
when our July and August sail-!
ings are under way they will have '
full lists of Alaska bound tourists j
equalling any successful post- i
i war season—providing unwar- j
ranted “war scare” stories de
scribing Alaska as a front line are
not given unwarranted circula- '
tion, R. C. Rose, assistant general
passenger agent of Alaska Steam
ship, said. “We are grateful for
the support given the Alaska
tourist program by Alaska news- J
papers.”
Don Irwin and Hugh Johnson I
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station have returned to Palmer j
after spending a few days at:
Fairbanks on experiment station ■
business.
