Adverting Opportunities

Travel Sitka offers multiple ways to reach visitors before they arrive, while they’re here, and as they explore Sitka on their own terms. Advertising options are designed to be flexible, locally focused, and easy to manage.

Web Advertising

Promote your business year-round on our website.

Web advertising options include directory listings, featured placements, and category-level visibility designed to help travelers find you while planning their trip and once they arrive.

Print Advertising

Promote your business in the Sitka Through 4 Seasons Visitor Guide.

A full-color print guide distributed throughout Sitka for over 30 years. Print advertising is ideal for businesses that want a trusted, tangible presence visitors actually use and keep.

Mobile Ap

Coming soon! A new and improved app is currently in development.

The updated Travel Sitka app will replace the existing mobile web app. Advertising opportunities will be announced once development is complete. In the meantime, the current mobile web app remains active and available to visitors.

Sponsored Editorial Features

For businesses looking for deeper storytelling and premium placement, Travel Sitka offers a limited number of sponsored editorial features within the Sitka Through 4 Seasons visitor guide.

These placements are designed to feel like part of the guide itself. Thoughtfully written, clearly labeled, and intentionally placed, they allow businesses to connect with readers through story rather than traditional advertising.

Make It Easy For Them To Find You

A display ad puts your business front and center, right where visitors are already looking for what to do, where to go, and who to trust.

Distribution & Reach

Visitors encounter Sitka Through 4 Seasons across multiple touchpoints as they plan their trip, arrive in town, and explore Sitka. Independent travelers often find us first online, where they can view the guide digitally or download a PDF while planning their visit.

Once in Sitka, the compact print guide becomes an easy, go-to resource. Visitors consistently mention the size and the fold-out map in the back as favorites, making it something they keep with them and reference throughout their stay.

Each spring, 30,000 full-color guides are intentionally distributed to roughly 100 locations throughout Sitka, including lodging, retailers, transportation points, and visitor services. QR codes and other on-the-ground touchpoints help connect visitors back to the guide, the website, and the app in real time.

Be Part of Their Plan

A web listing helps travelers discover your business while they’re planning their trip and once they’re in Sitka. Listings are available year-round and can be updated as your business evolves.
