LOCAL MIA CRITICISES
CONDUCTED TOURS
H. E. Ellsworth at a recent meeting
of the chamber of commerce stated
that there has been considerable com
plaint on the part of members of per
! sonallv conducted tours of the high
cost of touring Alaska. For instance,
while the cost per round trip on the
steamships is but $148, and over the
Richardson road about $75, with $2S.50
from Fairbanks here, certain agencies
in the states are charging those book
ing in their offices from $1000 to $1,
500. That this will militate aganist
tourists making the trip is the opinion
of Mr. Ellsworth, who feels that while
these agencies should be reimbursed
to a certain extent, that the present
cost is far too high.
One plan substituted by Mr. Elis-1
worth was for the city to advertise
tours of its own, furnishing guides, j
boats and accommodations for parties
desiring to camp at Kenal or Russian I
River, or who desire to enjoy the fish
ing and boating. Guides could also be
furnished to those desiring to moun
tain climb or visit the big glaciers
near here. The fees for the guides
etc., would be paid by the tourists,
but operating under Mr. Ellsworth’s
i plan, it would insure a far cheaper trip
; for tourists, and would allow them to
remain a few days in Seward.
Under the present system, those
conducting the tourists rush through
each place, in order to save money by
making the trip as rapidly as possible.
There is a great deal of merit in
Mr. Ellsworth’s plan, as it would in
crease tourist travel and would also
allow tourists to have more time to
investigate the country and visit
points of interest.
