45% Of Tourism Income Comes To Southcentral Alaska
Independent travelers spend more money in Southcentral Alaska than anywhere else. A total of $866 million is spent in Southcentral – or 45% of all money spent on land by non-package travelers. It's no surprise that Southeast hauls in the money; that's where the cruise ships land. But Southcentral's piece of the pie is surprisingly hefty.
Interior Alaska is also a heavy hitter, with 17% spent (or $336 million.) The total amount of non-package tour and non-transportation money spent in Southcentral, the Interior & the "Far North" is $1.2 billion.
