			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">The team here at Alaska HDTV wants to welcome you to join us in promoting Alaska for all seasons. We&#8217;ve heard the news for 2010 at the recent <strong><a title="Alaska Tourism Summit" href="http://alaskatourismsummit.org/" target="_blank">Alaska Tourism Summit</a></strong>, and while we&#8217;re asking and waiting for more state marketing dollars &#8211; we believe NOW is the time to make noise!  Join us in broadcasting &#8220;We&#8217;re open for business!&#8221;<br />
</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Future of Alaska Tourism</span></h3>
<p>As our own company looks ahead to 2010 and 2011, we adhere more than ever to our mission statement:  <em>&#8220;To inspire others to discover, explore and engage with Alaska’s people, places and culture.&#8221;</em> Many argue it&#8217;s easier said than done when there&#8217;s a downturn and tight budgets. We submit that the future of tourism depends on attitude and the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1086" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="Alaska is OPEN for business" src="http://www.alaskahdtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/comein-wereopen1.gif" alt="Alaska is OPEN for business" width="300" height="209" /></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: normal;">Staying Positive: </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Attitude, Creativity and Flexibility</span></h3>
<p>At the recent Tourism Summit, associations and agencies made their case clear, the sky is falling, contact your legislator, get more money. We&#8217;re not discounting the economic challenges, but meanwhile we remain focused on doing what CAN be done until things improve.</p>
<p>The newspaper and media continue to feed travelers more about the negative and not nearly enough about the reasons for visiting Alaska. This deluge of &#8220;discount&#8221; messages encourages potential travelers to hold out for even bigger discounts, pushing their planned trip out another year or waiting until the last minute for a deal.</p>
<p>The value of your Alaska experience hasn&#8217;t declined, it&#8217;s the perception and attitude toward Alaska right now that is our biggest challenge. Travelers have a choice &#8211; so long as the downward attitude continues, so will our prospects of letting the world the Alaska IS Open For Business.</p>
