"Marketing Tourism in the North" workshop

Seward, Alaska 

Feb 27 - March 4, 2006

In an effort to support the development of tourism in its regions, the Northern Forum held a workshop dedicated to marketing tourism in the North at the end of February 2006 in Seward, south of Anchorage, Alaska.

The workshop included presentations by tourism specialists who work in the North and understand its specificity. Some of the issues  covered included:

- who is the client and how to reach him

- what are the infrastructures needed to develop tourism in the North

- how to develop a marketing campaign

- what models are working and can be replicated.
