For Travel Information on Alaska's Inside Passage Travelers in search of a unique destination or a new adventure are increasingly turning to the Internet for vacation ideas and planning. In some cases, the entire trip can be booked online. While visitors to Alaska's Inside Passage are still encouraged to request printed information and to call and ask questions, there are a variety of web sites worth checking out for anyone considering Southeast Alaska as a destination.
Visitors can request a copy of the regional tourism marketing organization's vacation guide.
The guide can be ordered online. From the SATC site, surfers can link to sites describing each of the Southeast Alaska communities of Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Skagway, Wrangell, Haines and Juneau, as well as to sites for Whitehorse and Prince Rupert. Some communities have more sophisticated web sites than others, but all at least list a telephone number and address where you can write to receive more detailed, printed information. The site includes maps of Alaska and of the city of Ketchikan, a community profile and other basic information. Click on the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau icon for more specific visitor information including a calendar of events and list of members.
