[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, we as American residents pay taxes that directly fund the NPS. Foreign visitors do not. I've always felt it would be right and fair to upcharge non-residents.[/quote] You are not wrong in that regard. However, the NPS budget is tiny and tourists spend thousands of dollars here on their vacation, which helps the economy and generates taxable income for local and national business. It's only upside economically, but the crowds piece of it is a legit concern as well. Though specifically for NPS foreign visitation is about 4 or 5%, not a a whole lot. But if you are unlucky enough to get stuck behind a bus-full of 60 of them you might feel disgruntled. [/quote]
