The Alaska Wilderness Recreation & Tourism Association (AWRTA), a member-led association, represents more than 300 nature-based tourism businesses, individuals, and organizations in Alaska. AWRTA advocates for sustainability of Alaska's natural and cultural resources, responsible tourism, and tourism planning for communities. Member businesses and partners work with communities to protect and enhance quality of life, provide good jobs and business opportunities, and create strong incentives for protecting Alaska's wildlife, wilderness, and special places.

AWRTA's sister organization, the Alaska Institute for Sustainable Recreation & Tourism, a non-profit educational organization, provides supporting research, education, outreach, advocacy, and public policy development affecting the health and integrity of Alaska's natural, cultural, and community resources on which AWRTA members depend.

The representative for this member entity on the PWSRCAC Board of Directors is Cathy Hart.
