Cruise Boom: A Community on the Cusp of Change

Nestled between glacial mountains and an island studded sea, Sitka, Alaska is home of the Lingít Aaní (Tlingit ) and a large small boat family fishery. In the face of a surge in global tourism, Cruise Boom follows residents grappling with benefits, impacts and what they can control, raising questions about who benefits from tourism, how much tourism is enough, and what it means to be a visitor.
