Our Millions Kept at Home in National Park Travel
Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, notes rising park visitation and predicts a strong summer. He cites conservative estimates of Americans saving at home, while foreign travel historically drains money abroad. A Wall Street Journal estimate puts overseas expenditures around 220 million, with further spending on souvenirs, clothing, and art objects. The piece stresses keeping travel spending domestic this year.
