Identifying visitor services and opportunities to inform the application of the National Park Service Intermountain Region’s Tourism Toolkit

Posted: 4/1/2022

Visitation to units of the National Park System has grown in recent decades, but this growth has been uneven. In some cases, park units have seen stalled or declining visitor use or are in a position where they are looking to grow their visitation. The Tourism Toolkit – developed in the Intermountain Region - is a first-of-its-kind effort in the NPS that aims to engage tourism networks and tourists. The outcome of this process may be aimed at increasing the diversity of visitors, as well as the amount of visitation a park unit sees. These changes are generally achieved by attracting tourists to the area. Although difficult to define, “tourist” in the Tourism Toolkit is defined as any person or people traveling to a destination outside their usual or local environment for a specific purpose.
