A. No person or entity shall operate a commercial tour in the Haines Borough except as authorized by a duly issued and currently valid tour permit obtained pursuant to this chapter for each primary activity offered.

B. Permits shall be issued biennially and the permit year shall be from May 1st to April 30th, except that heliski permits issued under Chapter 5.24 HBC shall be valid between February 1st and May 3rd. Proof of valid insurance shall be provided annually. (Ord. 20-03-562 § 16; Ord. 18-09-512 § 26)
