Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The fate of the tourism industry, especially its fate in Juneau and Alaska, was a topic of discussion at the Juneau Assembly meeting Monday evening.
It's still not clear what the 2021Juneau tourists season is going to look like. The Centers for Disease Control says cruise ships need the permission of the ports to be able to dock anywhere.
At the Assembly Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday night, City Manager Rorie Watt says that whatever Juneau does it needs to be in conjunction with other Southeast communities. "We're part of a system so any decisions that Juneau makes affect how that system works. So the cruise ship industry's general hope is that the port communities can come up with similar ways to approach things."
