YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe National Park Service is raising fees for international tourists. The Interior Department says the new “America-first” fees will be in place at 11 parks.
The affected parks include some of the nation's most visited — like the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Yosemite.
Tourists from outside the U.S. will have to pay a new $100 fee to enter, plus the regular entrance charge. The Interior Department is also more than tripling the cost of an annual park pass for international visitors — to $250, instead of $80, which is what U.S. residents will still pay. And now — “fee-free” days on several patriotic holidays will be only free for U.S. residents.
The department says the fees will help cover upgrades to visitor facilities and maintenance.
