National Parks could charge international visitors extra fees to help fund park needs.
This bill would let National Parks charge international visitors an extra fee when they enter or buy a park pass. This money would help pay for park maintenance, visitor services, and staffing. It means international tourists would pay a bit more to visit U.S. national parks, providing new funding for these sites.
Today, National Parks collect entrance fees but do not have a specific extra charge for international visitors or for passes sold to them. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of the Interior would be able to add a surcharge for international visitors at parks that charge an entrance fee. The Secretary would also require an extra fee on National Parks passes sold to international visitors. This would provide new funding sources for park maintenance and services.
