Adventure Green Alaska:

Tourism Certification Program

Your guide to sustainable tourism in Alaska!

Are you thinking about a trip to Alaska but want to use tourism businesses that care for the environment, are sensitive to Alaska's Native cultures and rural way of life, and are good community citizens? Are you confused by the multitude of companies that describe their business as "green" or "ecotourism"? We created Adventure Green Alaska (AGA) for people like you.

AGA is a certification program for tourism businesses operating in Alaska that meet specific standards of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Administered by an independent, Alaska nonprofit corporation, AGA encourages tourism businesses to evaluate their operations and determine whether they use - or could be using - best management practices. Businesses may qualify for Gold, Silver, or Bronze Level certification, earning the right to use the AGA logo and participate in AGA promotional activities.  AGA is currently accepting applications for certification

The businesses certified by AGA are leaders in the tourism industry. They are progressive companies that believe that outstanding Alaska experiences can also be sustainable. To learn more about these companies and about the AGA certification process, please visit:
