I used to be a reference librarian but you have way outclassed what I would do!

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.
