ATWS 2016
Go Big. Be Bold.
800 delegates from over 60 countries gathered at the 13th annual Adventure Travel World Summit (ATWS) in Anchorage, Alaska from September 19th to the 22nd. The theme, Go Big, Be Bold, resonated throughout the educational sessions, open networking, business meetings, and adventure in the wild places of Alaska before the Summit.
Prior to the start of ATWS, delegates participated in adventures across Alaska, including flights on float planes, kayaking to view glaciers and bears, camping and fat tire biking in National Parks, salmon and halibut fishing, whale watching and savoring the wild and delicious cuisine of Alaska. During these adventures bonds were created and adventures experienced, appreciated and remembered.
With 3 million lakes, 300,000 glaciers, dozens of vast mountain ranges, over 100 native languages and millions of acres of protected park land, Alaska is big enough to host the 2016 Adventure Travel World Summit. Join the adventure community in Anchorage for a world-class experience in one of the world’s biggest adventure destinations and learn how boldness can change an industry.
The Adventure Travel World Summit 2016 has sold out.
