The Trump administration will begin its plan to increase national park fees for international visitors starting next year, the Interior Department announced Tuesday.
Interior said the America the Beautiful annual pass will continue to cost $80 for U.S. residents, while nonresidents next year will have to pay $250. The pass allows access to national parks across the country over a year.
In addition, nonresidents who don’t purchase the annual pass will be charged $100 per person if they are seeking entry to 11 of the most-visited national parks, in addition to a standard entrance fee.
“These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to maintaining and improving our parks for future generations,” said Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in a statement.
