Alaskan Tourist
Boom Foreseen
Charles B. West, of Westour,
Ine„ who is grossing million
a year from tourists who want
to see Alaska, and who them
selves contribute $1 million to the
economy of the 49th state, ex
pects this coming season to be
the most crowded since the days
of 1898.
By sea. the tourists will have
their choice of 38 sailings of the
steamers Glacier Queen anti the
Yukon Star, formerly the Coquit
lam and the Ohilcotin. They are
operated by the Westours subsi
diary, Alaska Cruise Lines, Ltd.,
from Vancouver, B.C. to Haines,
Alaska, Each carries 120 pass
engers.
Breaking with the “tourist sea
son’’ tradition which has seen
the Alaskan vacation schedules
start on June 1 and end at Labor
Day, Alaska Cruise Lines is now
booking its first sailing April 28;
the last round trip will leave
Vancouver Sept. 23. Late spring
and early autumn offer some of
the best tourist weather in Al
aska, although for years only the
Alaskans have enjoyed it,
West also has added another
Ah',000 motor coach to the fleet
which maintains service from
Haines to Valdez and .Anchorage,
the speciality of another subsidi
ary. This brings to more than $3
million the investment in ships,
inn,--, buses, and other equipment.
