Fairbanks Tourism Holding Steady Depsite Corona Virus Fears

Explore Fairbanks

Tourism is one of the many parts of the world economy affected by the spread of the corona virus. This time of year, Fairbanks attracts visitors who want to see the aurora or go dog mushing. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, so far numbers are holding fairly steady, but the prognosis is mixed.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
