The TravelAlaska Act Gets Introduced: Senate Bill (SB) 110
Senate Bill (SB) 110 championed by Senator Mia Costello (R ) of Anchorage, was
introduced April 7, 2017 through the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee as an act
establishing the Travel Alaska Board and relating to a tourism marketing assessment and
establishing a tourism marketing fund.
Introduction of Senate Bill 110 follows several months of discussion within industry at Alaska
Travel Industry Association (ATIA) Board of Directors and Alaska Tourism Marketing Board
(ATMB) meetings. Alaska’s tourism industry is wrestling with just how to provide stable
funding for statewide destination marketing in order to remain competitive among other
traveler destinations around the world. ATIA and ATMB board members have learned a
great deal from questions and comments exchanged from member meetings around the
state. We recognize there will be more questions and concerns from tourism businesses and
are committed to continue open discussions with you.
The introduction of SB110 marks just one step in the process toward a sustainable tourism
marketing funding model. Legislation does not commit industry to any tax, fee or
assessment. SB110 – the Travel Alaska Act – describes a framework or tool for a voting and
board election process if industry decides to vote for an assessment and includes a way to
terminate any assessment. The overall goal for ATIA and industry leaders is to have a strong
and competitive destination marketing program for Alaska.
