Making America Beautiful Again by Improving Our National Parks

What it means

Directs the Interior Secretary to increase national park fees for foreign visitors while improving affordability for Americans. Revenue from increased foreign visitor fees will fund infrastructure improvements and enhance access to federal recreational areas.

Expected impact

• Improved national park infrastructure and visitor experience through additional revenue from foreign tourists
• More affordable access for American residents through preferential pricing
• Potential increase in tourism to underutilized parks and outdoor recreation areas
• Reduction of the National Park Service maintenance backlog
• Removal of recreational access restrictions, particularly those implemented during the previous administration
• Possible international criticism regarding differential pricing for foreign visitors
