ALASKAN MUSIC + TOURISM

AKIMI is building new cross-sector collaborations with Visit Anchorage; Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau, and with the Alaska Travel Industry Association to promote Alaskan music and and to link Alaskan music and tourism.

Alaska is an extraordinary place with a history of producing extraordinary musicians, with several high-profile musical success stories in recent years. “Music Tourism” is a key concept AKIMI is advocating for along with our partners and supporters.

AKIMI believes that Alaskan music has the potential to be an economic driver. Our regional music can be a vibrant added value to visitors who come to experience Alaska. We are sitting (literally) on one of the world’s most valuable brands: The word ALASKA. Alaska enjoys approximately 2.5 million visitors to the state each year. Visitors are attracted to Alaska’s wilderness and outdoor opportunities, and we have an opportunity to expand what people think of when they think of Alaska and what it has to offer.
