Visitor Industry Task Force Invites Public to March Meetings on Flightseeing 

The Visitor Industry Task Force invites the public to listen to two meetings about flightseeing at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 12 and Thursday, March 19 in the Assembly Chambers and via Zoom. On March 12, task force members will discuss Juneau’s aerial tours, including efforts to manage impacts and options for policy changes, with expert and industry panelists. On March 19, Task Force members will discuss implementation of potential recommendations. Full meeting details can be found on the CBJ assembly calendar. While public testimony will not be taken, residents are encouraged to email comments to City.Clerk@juneau.gov.  

The second Visitor Industry Task Force was established by Mayor Beth Weldon in December 2025 to advise the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly on a variety of visitor industry topics. So far, the task force has discussed recommendations from the previous task force, public survey results, and crowding in downtown. Upcoming topics for discussion include whale watching, a clean energy revolving loan program, and long-term tourism policy objectives. Recordings of past meetings, along with more information about the task force, can be found at juneau.org/assembly/visitor-industry-task-force.
