1. (a) For the purposes of determining whether a municipality or established village receives more than 4,000 visitors a year, the board may rely on visitor statistics generated annually by a reliable government, trade association, nonprofit, or commercial source presented by

   1. (1) the municipality or established village;
   2. (2) an applicant that would qualify for a seasonal restaurant or eating place tourism license; or
   3. (3) an applicant for a transfer of ownership of a seasonal restaurant or eating place tourism license.
2. (b) The board will apply the same annual visitor count to every application filed under AS 04.11.260 for a seasonal restaurant or eating place tourism license in a specific qualifying municipality or established village during each calendar year. The board may reconsider that visitor count and how it calculates that visitor count each calendar year.
