Fairbanks in Alaska is one of the premier destinations globally for viewing the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It has been a particularly favourite tourism destination for Japanese tourists. The town has historically had road signs written in Japanese to further point towards the popularity of the place. However, now Fairbanks is receiving other tourists and thus road signs in Hindi, German, Mandarin, Spanish and Korean are being added boostingtourism jobs. Due to fleet cuts and pilot shortages, Japan Airlines has reduced flight frequency to Alaska and thus many Japanese tourists are now arriving via continental USA or simply going someplace else.
