Alaskan Resorts Hoping To Extend Tourist Season By Offering Discounts
Posted in TravelingIf you’re one of many (including myself) that have always dreamed of a vacation camping in the Alaskan wilderness,
there may never be a better chance than between May 13th and June 6th. Alaska, which is famous for it’s breath taking views and bountiful wildlife, is trying to lengthen it’s tourism season by offering package deals that include up to 30% off normal prices. The usual season which lasts between June and August normally brings in an estimated 1.63 million tourists. That means over $1.5 billion is typically pumped into the Alaskan economy within just a period of a couple months.
One main reason for the attempt to entice earlier visitors is because of the over crowding the sudden surge of vacationers sometimes causes. Denali National Park and Glacier Bay National Park are both dropping prices and attempting to jump-start the season.
Denali, which spans an amazing 6 million acres and is home to North America’s highest mountain Mt. McKinley, has created a “Twice As Nice” travel package that includes two nights for the price of one at a one of four possible lodges for only $199. The “Denali Dreamin” package invites visitors to enjoy a one-night stay at the McKinley Chalet, a dinner theater experience, and breakfast for only $148.99. That’s 30% OFF!!!! To rich for your blood? Denali is also offering some rooms for as low as $90 a night!!
A ferry service is also starting up this year for those who hate plane rides and want to see more of everything Alaska has to offer. A ferry ride from Juneau Bay and Glacier Bay will only cost you $70!! And don’t worry about those cold temps, who can complain about sunny days that reach highs of 50-60 degrees?
Why go to the beach yet again when you can head North (waaaayy North) and have that vacation you have always dreamed of wondering through the Alaskan Wilderness!!!
