What a thorough post! Where did you ever find the time to do it? (That is my current battle.)
Adventure tourism is big in Alaska, as you might guess. For a number of years, Kodiak fought the tourism explosion, but then were sucked in.

Cruise ships arrive regularly. Companies offering adventure trips do well. I got in on the edge of that industry for a couple of years. Had a business called "Backwoods Botany." Taught people about wild plants and took them on plant ID hikes. For two years, I took groups of young people from the "Semester at Sea" ship on plant hikes; gathered plants in plant presses; then they learned the actual biology parts when they were back on the ship. It wasn't really dangerous, but was an adventure.

Wow! Katherine! 16 sections. You are the James Mitchener of tourism!
Very well done and thorough.
There's a concern with an increasingly aged and mobility challenged demographic of the need for addressing those issues in tourism. What are your thoughts in that area?

Being elderly doesn't stop you having an adventure
