WASHINGTON, November 25 (Xinhua) — Entrance fees to 11 of the most popular U.S. national parks will increase for non-U.S. residents starting January 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced on Tuesday.

According to the department's statement, the cost of an annual park pass will be $250 for non-residents and $80 for residents.

Non-residents without an annual pass will pay a $100 fee per person in addition to the standard entrance fee. This measure is intended to support maintenance of national parks, the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated.

Currently, non-residents and US residents pay the same fees to enter national parks.

“This policy ensures that affordable access continues for American taxpayers who already support the National Park System, and that international visitors make their fair share of the maintenance and improvement of our parks for future generations,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Douglas Burgum.

In July, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order increasing entrance fees to national parks for tourists from abroad. –0–
