Travel Mandates and Van Tours

Thu, 18 Jun 2020 23:50:48 GMT

Hello! This is most relevant to those of us operating out of Anchorage, but may also be of interest more widely.

I operate a day-tour business out of Anchorage (907 Tours) and have been confused about which guests from Outside I am allowed to take on my van-based tours under the current travel mandate. I was finally was able to talk with the Anchorage health department and get clarification. As I suspected, anyone who is required to be self-isolating (e.g. can't dine in at restaurants, not allowed to visit indoor attractions) is also not permitted to participate in a van-based tour. That means guests will have to have had a negative test 72 hours before arriving or have taken a test once they arrive and receive a negative result before going on the van tour.

Not the best news, from a business perspective, but my top priority is keeping my team and fellow Alaskans safe. If you have questions for the health department, I was able to reach them via email at COVID-19-Business@anchorageak.gov.
