are led by locals, and that visitor numbers are kept at a sustainable level.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--travel js-article-content\">\n<p>Late every summer, hulking white bears gather outside a tiny Alaska Native village on the edge of the continent, far above the Arctic Circle, to feast on whale carcasses left behind by hunters and to wait for the deep cold to freeze the sea.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\"

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s a spectacle that once brought 1,000 or more tourists each year to Kaktovik, the only settlement in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in a phenomenon sometimes called \u201clast chance tourism\u201d \u2013 a chance to see magnificent sights and creatures before climate change renders them extinct.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic and an order from the federal government halting boat tours to see the bears largely ended Kaktovik&#8217;s polar bear tourism amid concerns that the tiny village was being overrun by outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>But Kaktovik leaders are now hoping to revive it, saying it could be worth millions to the local economy and give residents another source of income \u2013 provided the village can set guidelines that protect its way of life and the bears themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe definitely see the benefit for tourism,\u201d said Charles Lampe, president of the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp, which owns 373 square kilometers of land. \u201cThe thing is, it can\u2019t be run like it was before.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Visitors overwhelm a tiny village<\/h2>\n<p>As far back as the early 1980s, anyone in Kaktovik with a boat and knowledge of the waters could take a few tourists out to watch the bears as they lumbered across the flat, treeless barrier islands just off the coast or tore into the ribs of a bowhead whale left by subsistence hunters.<\/p>\n<p>Tourism in Kaktovik soared in the years after federal officials declared polar bears a threatened species in 2008. The rapid warming of the Arctic is melting the sea ice that the bears use to hunt seals, and scientists have said that most polar bears could be wiped out by the end of the century.<\/p>\n<p>As visitation boomed, the federal government imposed regulations requiring tour operators to have permits and insurance, and that began to squeeze locals out of the industry, Lampe said. Larger out-of-town operators moved in, and before long, crowds of tourists were coming to Kaktovik \u2013 a village of about 250 people \u2013 during the six-week viewing season.<\/p>\n<p>The town\u2019s two hotels and restaurants lost out on some business when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips. Locals complained that tourists gawked at them or traipsed through their yards.<\/p>\n<p>Small plane capacity became an issue, with residents sometimes battling tourists to get on flights to or from larger cities for medical appointments, forcing those left stranded in the cities to get expensive hotel rooms for the night.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/73\/52\/21\/808x539_cmsv2_685ba9da-84ce-5dd1-9c6f-975a8fb5454c-9735221.jpg\" alt=\"A polar bear and a cub search for scraps in a large pile of bowhead whale bones left from the village's subsistence hunting\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">A polar bear and a cub search for scraps in a large pile of bowhead whale bones left from the village&#8217;s subsistence hunting<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Then in 2021, the federal government, which manages polar bears, halted boat tours, mostly over concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the town.<\/p>\n<p>Alaska Native leaders are now in talks with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to address those concerns and reignite the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The agency told The Associated Press in a statement that it\u2019s working with Kaktovik \u201cto ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that prioritizes visitor safety, resource protection, and community input\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Among the changes Kaktovik leaders want to see is a limit on how long a boat can sit in the water near the bears. Too long, Lampe said, and the bears get used to humans \u2013 making for a dangerous situation when bears wander into town looking for food.<\/p>\n<p>During the height of the tourism boom, it became tougher to haze bears out of town, even with the town\u2019s bear patrol shooting at them with nonlethal rounds. The patrol had to kill about three or four bears per year, compared with maybe one per year before the boom, Lampe said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur safety was at risk,\u201d Lampe said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, a 24-year-old woman and her one-year-old son were killed in a polar bear attack in Wales, in far western Alaska. It was the first fatal polar bear attack in nearly 30 years in Alaska, the only U.S. state home to the species.<\/p>\n<p>Since the boat tours in Kaktovik were halted, the bears once again seem more fearful of humans, Lampe said.<\/p>\n<h2>Encouraging respectful visits in the Arctic<\/h2>\n<p>Polar bear tourism coincides with Kaktovik\u2019s subsistence whaling season. When a crew lands a whale, it&#8217;s usually butchered on a nearby beach. While the community encourages visitors to watch or even help, some were recording or taking pictures without permission, which is considered disrespectful, Lampe said.<\/p>\n<p>Sherry Rupert, CEO of the American Indigenous Tourism Association, suggested that Kaktovik market itself as a two- or three-day experience.<\/p>\n<p>Native communities that are ready for tourists &#8220;want them to come and be educated and walk away with a greater understanding of our people and our way of life and our culture,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Roger and Sonia MacKertich of Australia were looking for the best spot on the planet to view polar bears in the wild when they came to Kaktovik in September 2019. They spent several days in the village, took a walking tour led by an elder and bought souvenirs made by local artists, including a hoodie featuring a polar bear.<\/p>\n<p>For Roger MacKertich, a professional wildlife photographer based in Sydney, the highlight was the boat tours to see bears roaming on the barrier islands or taking a dip in the water. The bears paid them no attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s nearly as good as it gets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

The rapid warming of the Arctic is melting the sea ice that the bears use to hunt seals, and scientists have said that most polar bears could be wiped out by the end of the century.As visitation boomed, the federal government imposed regulations requiring tour operators to have permits and insurance, and that began to squeeze locals out of the industry, Lampe said. Larger out-of-town operators moved in, and before long, crowds of tourists were coming to Kaktovik \u2013 a village of about 250 people \u2013 during the six-week viewing season.The town\u2019s two hotels and restaurants lost out on some business when large operators began flying tourists in from Fairbanks or Anchorage for day trips. Locals complained that tourists gawked at them or traipsed through their yards.Small plane capacity became an issue, with residents sometimes battling tourists to get on flights to or from larger cities for medical appointments, forcing those left stranded in the cities to get expensive hotel rooms for the night.Renewing polar bear tourism, with changesWhen the pandemic struck, Kaktovik paused visitation. Then in 2021, the federal government, which manages polar bears, halted boat tours, mostly over concerns about how tourists were affecting bear behavior and overrunning the town.Alaska Native leaders are now in talks with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to address those concerns and reignite the industry, perhaps as early as 2027. The agency told The Associated Press in a statement that it\u2019s working with Kaktovik \u201cto ensure that any future opportunities are managed in a way that prioritizes visitor safety, resource protection, and community input\u201d.Among the changes Kaktovik leaders want to see is a limit on how long a boat can sit in the water near the bears. Too long, Lampe said, and the bears get used to humans \u2013 making for a dangerous situation when bears wander into town looking for food.During the height of the tourism boom, it became tougher to haze bears out of town, even with the town\u2019s bear patrol shooting at them with nonlethal rounds. The patrol had to kill about three or four bears per year, compared with maybe one per year before the boom, Lampe said.\u201cOur safety was at risk,\u201d Lampe said.In 2023, a 24-year-old woman and her one-year-old son were killed in a polar bear attack in Wales, in far western Alaska. It was the first fatal polar bear attack in nearly 30 years in Alaska, the only U.S. state home to the species.Since the boat tours in Kaktovik were halted, the bears once again seem more fearful of humans, Lampe said.Encouraging respectful visits in the ArcticPolar bear tourism coincides with Kaktovik\u2019s subsistence whaling season. When a crew lands a whale, it&#8217;s usually butchered on a nearby beach. While the community encourages visitors to watch or even help, some were recording or taking pictures without permission, which is considered disrespectful, Lampe said.Sherry Rupert, CEO of the American Indigenous Tourism Association, suggested that Kaktovik market itself as a two- or three-day experience.Native communities that are ready for tourists &#8220;want them to come and be educated and walk away with a greater understanding of our people and our way of life and our culture,\u201d she said.Roger and Sonia MacKertich of Australia were looking for the best spot on the planet to view polar bears in the wild when they came to Kaktovik in September 2019. They spent several days in the village, took a walking tour led by an elder and bought souvenirs made by local artists, including a hoodie featuring a polar bear.For Roger MacKertich, a professional wildlife photographer based in Sydney, the highlight was the boat tours to see bears roaming on the barrier islands or taking a dip in the water. The bears paid them no attention.\u201cThat\u2019s nearly as good as it gets,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/04\/24\/this-tiny-arctic-village-in-alaska-is-trying-to-revive-its-polar-bear-tourism-industry&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/73\/52\/21\/1200x675_cmsv2_4df30c0b-9f24-5236-b774-0d7e8b65d88a-9735221.jpg&#8221;] Europe News EU and US sign plan for strategic partnership for critical minerals Europe News EU leaders vow to boost security and economic ties with Middle East Europe News Carlos Alcaraz pulls out of French Open due to wrist injury Europe News Assisted dying bill fails in UK as advocates vow to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1901572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1901572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1901572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1901572\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1901572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1901572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1901572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
