Cruise ship fees to pay for new projects in Juneau
Safety cameras along the Juneau Seawalk, a covered bus stop in the Mendenhall Valley and public Wi-Fi downtown are some of the new projects that could be funded by the fees paid by cruise ship passengers this year.
Every season, the City and Borough of Juneau collects a $5 fee from each cruise ship passenger who comes into port. That money is pooled together and can go toward paying for projects in Juneau that serve visitors or ease tourism impacts on locals.
This year, the city expects to generate about $21.5 million in revenue from the 1.65 million passengers anticipated to visit Juneau.
