If you are you looking for a relaxing scenic float with view of glaciers and icebergs, we recommend the Glacier Discovery Tour. This area is only accessible by train and begins with a breathtaking ride into the Placer River valley on the Alaska Railroad. Raft amongst the icebergs on Spencer Lake and take a leisurely float down the pristine Placer River. If your group wishes to participate in the a

dventure, try the Glacier Explorer Canoe Trip. You will paddle with our guides in a modern design of Haida Native Alaskan dugout canoes, getting up close and personal with the icebergs after lunch on the glacier.

This week’s member spotlight in Chugach Adventures. Owner Ari Stiassny tells us more about his business and the importance of tourism for the community: "Tourism is the main economic engine of Girdwood and many Southcentral communities. My business, Chugach Adventures, has been operating in Girdwood since 2002. We have grown our business almost twofold over the last decade and employ approximately 40 seasonal employees for the summer from May through September. Our staff is comprised of mostly local young Alaskans, including high school and college students learning the ropes of being an adventure guide and the important customer service skills that are needed, along with professionals - teachers, nurses, retirees, and others looking for a break and alternate outside career path. Our employees pride themselves on sharing their local Alaska stories and pointing travelers to the restaurants, communities, and destinations within Alaska that visitors can see down the road."

On why he is an ATIA member: "The advocacy efforts, networking opportunities, Travel Alaska website direct traffic, annual ATIA convention, and much more are hugely beneficial to my business. I have been a member of ATIA for over 10 years, and the partnerships and connections that I have made over the last decade have helped my tourism business double in size over the last decade. The Adventure Green Alaska program has also been a great effort of ATIA that we have been committed to. ATIA is the leading tourism organization in Alaska and one that I strongly recommend all tourism-based businesses join."
