The National Park Service has just released a report that shows that 810,000 visitors to Cabrillo National Monument in 2023 spent $54.3 million in communities near the park. They also claim, "That spending supported 678 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $76.2 million."
National Park Service Director Chuck Sams expressed his pride.
“I’m so proud that our parks and the stories we tell make a lasting impact on more than 300 million visitors a year. And I’m just as proud to see those visitors making positive impacts of their own, by supporting local economies and jobs in every state in the country.”
