FAIRBANKS TOUR OPERATOR CHARGES
STATE TOURISM DIVISION IS FAILURE
FAIRBANKS, (Jt — The State
Division of Tourism has failed in
i(s task of promoting Alaska’s
tourist industry, C.M. tJim) Bink
ley, longtime tour operator,
charged here yesterday.
Alaska tourist trade this past
summer was down substantially
from the 1959 level, Binkley
stated.
“A primary reason for this
decrease was the failure of the
state administration to recognize
the importance of the tourist busi
ness to each and every Alaskan,”
Binkley said.
“Two things happened. The
Legislature failed to provide suf
ficient funds to promote the
trade. Secondly, the Governor
failed to provide a competent
person to administer the meager
funds that were available,” he
said.
In Juneau, both Gov. Egan and
Lee A Johnson, chief of the
State Division of Tourism and Ec
onomic Development, declined
comment on Binkley’s statement
at this time.
Binkley said most of Alaska’s
travel leaders were convinced the
present director of the Division of
Tourism is not qualified for this
post.
“There is every evidence that
the $50,000 available in 1959 for
tourist promotion was spent large
ly on administrative costs to run
the division. This year $135,000
is available, but nothing has been
done by the Division of Tourism
to date,” Binkley said.
“So far as state promotion is
concerned, there is no reason to
believe that efforts this year will
be any more effective than they
were last year,” Binkley said.
Binkley said Governor Egan has
been repeatedly requested to
create an advisory board com
posed of people in the tourist in
dustry to assist in planning pro
motion work. The governor has
ignored these requests, Binkley
stated.
“Alaska should adopt Hawaii’s
highly successful system,” Bink
ley said. “Under this plan, an
organization of people interested
in tourism contribute to a general
fund. The state matches this fund,
and the money is administered by
a board named by the contribu
tors. The state maintains control
over the money while utilizing the
talents of experienced travel op
erators.”
