Explanation:
FOR FIRST Q
Tourism has become integral to the economy of southeast Alaska and has resulted in changes to the social and cultural fabric of community life as well as to natural resources used by Alaskans. This study examines tourism development in Haines, Craig, and Hoonah and is based on field research conducted between 2000 and 2001 and followup research through 2004. In each site, data were collected through indepth interviews with key informants and a representative sample of community residents. These three communities were selected as case studies because they represent the range of tourism experiences occurring in southeast Alaska. The communities selected are of similar size, demographic composition, and economic structure, with historical reliance on timber and fishing. Despite these similarities, tourism has developed along very different paths. Moreover, the perceived effects of tourism on community life and the surrounding natural resources have also differed.
