General Communication Inc. is awarding 15 scholarships to small and rural tourism businesses to help with the cost of attending the Alaska Travel Industry Association's 2010 convention and trade show in Canada. The convention will be Oct. 4-8 in Whitehorse, Yukon.
ATIA officials say each recipient receives $350 to help with travel costs. GCI, an Anchorage-based telecommunications company, also will pay the $350 registration fee for each of the winners.
ATIA spokesman James Minton says the recipients are rural tourism businesses, businesses with less than $500,000 in annual gross receipts or businesses that have not attended the convention in the past three years.
