This program is a cooperative effort of visitor industry businesses, industry associations and local government. Begun in 1997 in Juneau, Tourism Best Management Practices (TBMP) are intended to minimize the impacts of tourism in a manner which addresses both resident and industry concerns.

We acknowledge that Ketchikan, or Kichxáan in the Tlingit language, is situated on the ancestral lands of the Tlingit people, who have lived on these shores for over 10,000 years. The name "Kichxáan" reflects the deep connection between the Tlingit Nation and this beautiful landscape, which has long served as a place of residence, trade, and cultural significance. We honor the Tlingit heritage that continues to shape this community and are grateful for the opportunity to live and work on this land. As you explore Ketchikan, we invite you to respect and celebrate the rich history and traditions of the people who have called this place home for generations.

Gunalchéesh, Thank you
