FAM Tours

Thank you for your interest in Anchorage, Alaska! Visit Anchorage provides FAM assistance to tour operators and travel agents for those travel agents who have completed our Anchorage Wild Expert (AWE) training, either online or in person.

Qualify for a hosted FAM tour

Each year, Visit Anchorage invites select travel trade professionals to participate in exclusive and fully hosted familiarization tours of Anchorage. To qualify for an AWE-hosted FAM, the following criteria must be met:

• You must be an accredited travel agent.
• You must complete Anchorage Wild Expert (AWE) destination training - either in person or online - prior to and within 12 months of the FAM dates for which you are applying.
• You must complete the Anchorage Wild Expert FAM Application form.
   

Travel agents may apply for one FAM per calendar year. If you are selected for your FAM choice and aren’t able to make the selected dates, Visit Anchorage will make every effort to accommodate you on a future FAM.

Please note: If you are not selected for your FAM choice, you must reapply for future FAM opportunities and the above criteria must be fulfilled.

Targeted FAM assistance

This may include site visits to the area’s top activities, attractions, accommodations, and points of interest. Our team will work with our partners to provide complimentary or reduced rates as available. Request FAM assistance.
