Alaskans Really Love The Great Outdoors, Says University Report
The University of Alaska's 2019 Center for Economic Development tourism report says that Alaska has the highest rate of participation in outdoor recreation in the U.S. and that people spend almost $3.2 billion in Alaska every year on outdoor recreation.
Although around 50% of all Americans spend time playing outdoors, recreation is a must for 81% of Alaskans. In fact, almost 60% of us say that outdoor activities are a major reason for living here in the first place.
