Education & Networking

Visit Anchorage hosts a variety of industry events including professional development seminars, Monthly Membership Luncheons, Business Exchanges and training opportunities. Attending these events is an invaluable investment of time and one of the best ways to position your business for growth in the visitor industry.

Government Relations for the Tourism Industry

By joining Visit Anchorage, members gain a more powerful political voice than they have alone. In addition, members stay informed on political developments that may affect their business. By representing members on tourism issues in the state capitol and in front of the municipal Anchorage Assembly, Visit Anchorage works to maintain political support that allows the visitor industry to do its job. This ranges from lobbying to maintaining funding for state promotion, to opposing legislation that would tax only the visitor industry.
