A massive group of travel industry organizations is asking the United States Department of the Interior and National Park Service to consider reforming the current visitor reservation systems at national parks.
According to a letter from the U.S. Travel Association, 297 domestic and 91 international travel organizations are asking for reservation systems with short booking windows and inconsistent procedures to be overhauled to help international travelers and tour operators.
The letter was sent to Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and National Park Service Director Chuck Sams. It proposed that reservations be allowed 10 to 12 months in advance. In addition, the organizations want a consistent reservation system across all parks that require advanced ticketing.
