when I hear the word 'fair' system, usually that means, to be very frank with you, Alaska gets kind of left out
the tourism industry, especially with our foreign travelers, is not just about the economic opportunity.
For Alaska, it's a $2 billion industry with about 40,000 people employed in it in this last year.
I think nationally almost 100,000 jobs this last year in 2011 were added in the tourism industry, which is a good thing.
