Summer travel forecast sees record visits to National Parks, which struggle with staffing cuts

This summer, national parks are expected to see a record number of visitors, with interest spiking 65% compared to last year, according to Expedia's travel forecast. The surge in outdoor recreation enthusiasm comes as parks face challenges due to staffing cuts, which are straining resources and potentially affecting visitor experience. This influx highlights both the growing public interest in nature and the critical need for better funding and support for park management to maintain their quality and sustainability.
