More Tourists
Visited Alaska
Than Last Year
JUNEAU, UP»—'The State Divi
sion of Tourism and Economic De
velopment issued a report Mon
day which said preliminary fig
ures indicate more tourists visited
the state this year than in 1959.
Director Lee A. Johnson said
passenger traffic over the Alaska
Highway was up and airline traf
fic to the state was running about
equal to 1959.
Alaska - bound enplanements
were 27,000 this year, according
to the Civil Aeronautics Board’s
monthly traffic reports, Johnson
said.
Intra - Alaska enplanements in
June, Johnson said were 24,000,
up 13 per cent from last year.
Johnson said the division had
few facts as yet relative to steam
ship travel.
One of the three main steam
ship carriers has indicated a drop
in tourists.
Gov. Egan, commenting on the
division’s activities, said he felt
the division had done a good job
with the funds it had available.
The division was allocated
$100,000 during the 1960 fiscal
year, which ended last June 30.
Its budget for fiscal 1961 is $135,
000.
“It is certainly my hope that
the legislature will provide more
funds for the state’s tourist work
in fiscal 1962,” Egan said.
The governor said invitations
will go out soon to all persons
connected with the tourist indus
try to attend a meeting in Juneau
in mid-November on problems of
the industry and a discussion of
Johnson’s plans for next season.
