Membership
Tourism employs more local residents in Cooper Landing than any other industry. Together we host thousands of visitors each year and give them a great Alaskan experience. In turn, these visitors spend millions of dollars each year on the Kenai Peninsula.
​
As we work toward enhancing the vitality and growth of our visitor industry, your active participation as a member of the Cooper Landing Chamber is highly valued. Your support plays a crucial role in sustaining the business community in Cooper Landing while also promoting development and positive transformation.
While visitors plan their vacations, it is important to provide them with a thorough overview of the attractions available in our area. Including your business or organization in our materials ensures a more complete representation of our local offerings.
