Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Skagway Visitor Department to be a dynamic, credible and respected advisory body to the Assembly of the Municipality of Skagway on all issues pertaining to the development of Skagway's visitor industry. 

While the focus of the Department is marketing, it is in the greater interest of the community that the Skagway Visitor Department be sensitive to all issues of visitor industry development, including visitor facilities, visitor activities and quality of life for Skagway residents.

About us

Founded in 1981, the Skagway Visitor Department is funded by the Municipality of Skagway’s 8% hotel bed tax and sales tax. As a department of the Municipality of Skagway, it is not a member-­‐based organization and represents all visitor services equally. This includes all accommodations, restaurants, shops, parks and non-­profit organizations holding current business licenses with the Municipality of Skagway.

We serve as Skagway’s official contact for travel media, meeting planners, tour operators and individual visitors.
