Drew's approach combines deep knowledge of Southeast Alaska's tourism landscape with a commitment to connecting travelers with authentic local experiences. He oversees Alaska Shore Tours' partnerships, guest experience, and the growth of the Tourbase franchise network — which now spans destinations from Alaska to the American West.
