ANCHORAGE, Alaska (PRWEB) December 12, 2017 -- Is 2018 the year to finally will visit Alaska? Cruise rates are more affordable and there are very competitive airfares between the “Lower 48” and Alaska. But what can travelers do about the high cost of tours, transportation and accommodations?

The cost of shore excursions, fishing trips, glacier cruises and train rides add up quickly. After 20 years of publication, more than 80,000 travelers have used the Alaska TourSaver® travel coupon book to hedge the cost of Alaska adventures. There are more than 110 offers included in the booklet, which sells for $99.95 (it’s also available as an App on for iPhone/iPad).
