WASHINGTON – On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase the entrance fees for foreign visitors at national parks across the United States. According to the White House, the new fees will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue.

This extra income will fund various conservation projects aimed at preserving and improving America’s national parks. The government plans to use this money to:

The fee increase targets only international tourists, while U.S. citizens will not be affected. Officials believe foreign visitors should contribute more to sustaining the parks they enjoy.

National parks draw millions of tourists each year, both from the U.S. and abroad. By increasing fees for foreigners, the administration hopes to create a more sustainable funding source. The order reflects a growing focus on protecting natural resources and ensuring parks remain beautiful and accessible.
