The report detailing 2023 visitors spending and economic effects at national parks shows that visitors to Mesa Verde National Park spent nearly $60 million in communities near the parks, which supported 776 jobs. The report also shows a steady increase in cumulative spending at National Parks from around $14 billion in 2012 to around 26 billion in 2023. With the report, the National Parks Service also created an interactive tool so users can see the various types of economic impact from national parks over the years.
