The International Inbound Travel Association (IITA), representing the U.S. inbound travel trade, recently expressed serious concerns about the Department of the Interior’s newly announced international visitor/nonresident surcharge for entry to 11 major U.S. national parks, scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026.
Starting February 1, passengers will be referred to the fee-based TSA “Confirm.ID” payment option if they do not present a valid, acceptable ID at checkpoints.
