    His focus will be on making money for the hospitality industry. More hotels. Casinos. Entry fees. Parking fees. More merch sales. It won’t be about access to the parks. It will be how to monetize every single aspect of them.

    You know what this beautiful landscape needs… Less nature and more roads, parking lots, traffic, and McDonald’s.

    I’m sure that the guy is probably terrible, but at the surface level this isn’t the worst pick. Hospitality isn’t all the national parks are, but it is a significant part of the public facing side.
