Travel Agent - October 1, 2007 - (Page 95) AL ASK A New Alaska Products for Families AT THE SIXTH ANNUAL ALASKA MEDIA ROAD SHOW, Alaskan suppliers reported an uptake in family travel. This summer, the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau (www. anchorage.net) launched Geocaching journeys—a high-tech hunt, which uses GPS units to find caches (essentially buried treasure) hidden by previous visitors. Once found, guests take something and leave something in the cache. Agents will need to add their own fee in booking the excursion, which can be reserved by calling the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau at 907-276-4118. For older children, an option is Alaska’s new 5,330-foot-long zip line. Offered at Icy Strait Point (www.icystraitpoint.com), the ride is commissionable by booking as a shore excursion through various cruise lines, including Celebrity Cruises (www.celebritycrusies.com), Holland America Line (www.hollandamerica. com), Princess Cruises (www.princess.com) and Royal Caribbean (www.royalcaribbean. com). The package also includes a narrated bus tour through the village of Hoonah. Alaska Railroad (www.akrr.com), which pays a 10 percent commission, offers doubledecker railcars, exclusively on its Denali Star Train. The top deck of the car is exclusive to guests who upgrade to GoldStar Service.
