Norwegian Cruise Lines has donated a $20,000,000 parcel of Alaskan waterfront property to a Native-owned corporation to help the travel industry expand.
The donation is both generous and practical, since the money will go toward the construction of a new pier in Juneau.
The corporation, Huna Totem, is owned entirely by Alaska Natives.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ executive vice president Dan Farkas says, “This partnership will provide the dual benefit of driving positive, sustainable economic impact to the region while ensuring that the development of the land is done in a respectful way.”
