US considers social media checks and higher fees for some visitors
Proposals in the US could require tourists to share more data and pay higher fees at some national parks.
United States officials are proposing two policy changes affecting international travelers: requiring some foreign visitors to submit several years of social media history when applying for entry, and increasing entrance fees at select national parks. According to tourism groups, the proposals could discourage budget-conscious travelers, though the measures have not yet been rolled out nationwide.
Tourism groups warn that the idea, combined with recent increases to entrance fees at certain national parks, could discourage budget‑conscious travellers.
