Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at investing in national parks by increasing fees for foreign tourists. The objective is to enhance services, access, and affordability for American visitors.
The revenue generated from the increased fees is expected to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. This money will be allocated to conservation projects intended to improve the condition of national parks.
The move aligns with America's long-standing tradition of conservation policy that dates back to Republican President Teddy Roosevelt. "This Order builds on America’s conservative, conservationist history and reinvests in our natural treasures while putting Americans first," stated the release.
