EcoTourism Policies

Alaska Wildland Adventures philosophy: Uniquely, Responsibly, and Exclusively Alaska – Since 1977.

Ecotourism actually represents a means of protection for remote wild areas through sound and sustainable economic development. To truly be successful, ecotourism operators not only tread lightly but also set limits upon their use of the land and its resources.

AWA’s style of travel demonstrates a successful, Ecotourism business model; a sustainable business practice, which enables them to provide many opportunities to their guests to learn about Alaska’s natural and cultural history. Furthermore, the company selects quality local businesses to service their trips, thus providing economic incentive for local support of the protection of Alaska’s wild areas.

Alaska Wildland Adventures also donates 10% of their pre-tax earnings to Alaska conservation organizations that protect the wild lands they visit. There is also an educational emphasis and purposeful desire for travelers to learn about the natural and cultural history of the places they visit.

Here are some ways that Alaska Wildland Adventures promotes and practices this important concept.

1. Trips have a primary focus on visiting remote and relatively unaltered natural environments.

2. Our style of travel maintains a low impact on the natural environment. Use is sustainable over time without altering the resource or negatively affecting the experience.

3. There is an educational emphasis and purposeful desire for travelers to learn about the natural and cultural history of the places they visit.

4. The tours provide direct benefit to the local economy and local inhabitants, thereby providing an incentive for local support and preservation of wild areas and wildlife habitat.

5. The travel provides economic growth while protecting the natural environment -- any development must willingly be subjected to limits.
