Tourism Mentorship Assistance Program
The Tourism Mentorship Assistance Program (TMAP)
is a new
program that partners current successful business
owners in Alaska’s visitor industry with potential
business owners committed to furthering the
development of the visitor industry in Alaska’s
rural areas. TMAP will provide potential
entrepreneurs with an opportunity to work with
experts in the visitor services industry and assist
them in developing their marketing, advertising,
management and other skills related to developing a
tourism business.
The purpose of the program is to: provide
potential business owners in rural Alaska with
access to experts in the visitor services industry;
open up avenues for networking between the emerging
rural visitor industry and the existing visitor
industry; assist participants in developing their
tourism business skills training; and to help
potential tourism business owners transition from
thinking about creating a business to actually
establishing a tourism business in rural Alaska.
