Like so many other business owners around the globe, Midgi Moore, the owner of Juneau Food Tours in Juneau, Alaska, found herself needing to pivot her business in the the wake of COVID-19. With tourism coming to a screeching halt, she needed a way to bring Alaska to the public without requiring them to jump on a plane. The result: Taste Alaska!, a delicious subscription box that includes local Alaska food products, as well as artwork, recipes and trip planning information. It's the perfect way to satisfy your wanderlust in the times of social distancing, while also supporting dozens of local businesses in Juneau. In my conversation with Midgi, you'll learn: How she came up with the concept of Taste Alaska! What makes Alaska a unique foodie destination (and ways you can experience that from home) How she went from being a food blogger and writer to a owning a walking tour company Her predictions for the future of the tourism industry ... and so much more.
