TOURISM
By Gov. Frank Heintzleman
In a broadcast over KJNO
I am so greatly interested in
the Alaska tourist industry that I
would like to say a few words on
the subject at this time, the end
of the summer tourist season.
My own observations in trav
eling around the territory and the
recent reports I have read, show
a greatly expanded tourist busi
ness this past season. I find that
Alaskans generally are well
pleased with the extent to "which
tourists are contributing to the
welfare of the territory, and they
see fine prospects for a further
increase in benefits from this
so'arce.
Bright Star of Future
Many communities have come
to the conclusion that tourism is
one of the bright stars in their
| future. The tourist dollars which
have gone into the cash drawers
of hundreds of stores and service
industries this past summer are
circulating widely in our terri
tory and most Alaskans are hav
ing a chance to get acquainted
with them. We know, too, that
many more dollars are available
from the same source—the tour
ing American public.
Result of AVA Work
In short, tourism has now be
come of great economic impor
tance to Alaska.
It is obvious to me that the
expanding tourist industry of
Alaska is largely the result of the
work of the Alaska Visitors Assn.
The excellent job it has done this
past year leads me to say, “More
| power to this effective tourist
promotion agency.”
If it is to continue to bring
more and more visitors north, the
association must have our full and
apressive cooperation and sup
port. All Alaskans, acting either
as members of groups or individ
ually, would be serving the best
interests of themselves and our
territory by joining in the work
of the Alaska Visitors Association.
Extend a Hearty Welcome
I hope everyone will make a
point of participating in its ac
tivities by contributing time and
money to its promotional work.
And remember this, too: don’t fail
to follow the association’s plea of
extending a hearty welcome and
every possible courtesy to those
persons who have come north on
the AVA invitation and who are
the guests of all of us while they
are in Alaska.
