Representing a diverse group of outdoor recreation providers, the consortium's goal is to streamline the planning required of independent travelers wishing to visit the Alaska wilderness. As an AIPR representative states, "When planning an Alaskan vacation the options can be daunting. How does one begin to sort through endless Internet listings, advertisements, and articles? This is a dilemma faced by most travelers planning an Alaskan adventure. Alaskan vacation planning is a specialty and requires an understanding of the various activities, float plane and ferry schedules, fishing regulations and availability, program details, safety issues, and more."
Recreational activities reflect the remarkable nature of the wild environment. AIPR member companies facilitate salt and freshwater fishing, fly fishing, crab and shrimp fishing, flight-seeing, whitewater rafting, yacht cruising, marine wildlife and whale watching, bear viewing, glacier tours and sea kayaking adventures. AIPR tailors travel packages for both the corporate and leisure travel buyers.
