Trip prices include the considerable cost of federal and state permits and user fees that help keep these areas wild and protected. Your visit will greatly aid this effort. Often misused as a catch phrase describing nature travel, ecotourism actually represents a means of protection for remote wild areas through sound and sustainable economic development. To truly be successful, ecotour operators not only tread lightly but also set limits upon their use of the land and its resources. Here are some ways that Alaska Wildland Adventures promotes and practices this important concept.
Trips have a primary focus on visiting remote and relatively unaltered natural environments.
Our style of travel maintains a low impact on the natural environment. Use is sustainable over time without altering the resource or negatively affecting the experience. There is an educational emphasis and purposeful desire for travelers to learn about the natural and cultural history of the places they visit. The tours provide direct benefit to the local economy and local inhabitants, thereby providing an incentive for local support and preservation of wild areas and wildlife habitat. We believe that trip operators should help fund the cost of policing their own activities.
