Tour Firm Sues Over Grand Canyon's Foreigner Fee
29 Sep
Summary
- Tour company challenges extra $100 fee for foreign visitors.
- The lawsuit alleges the administration lacked authority for fees.
- Company claims fees harm business and deter international tourists.
A lawsuit has been filed by Across Arizona Tours against the Trump administration, challenging a newly implemented $100 surcharge for foreign visitors at the Grand Canyon. The Phoenix-based company asserts that these additional fees are negatively impacting its business operations and deterring international customers from visiting the iconic national park.
The core of the legal challenge lies in the company's argument that the Trump administration did not possess the required congressional authority to impose such charges. Foreign visitors are now subject to an extra $100 per person for entry or a $250 annual pass. The lawsuit explicitly aims to halt the nonresident entrance fee and the annual pass requirement.
