Zion Canyon Tours Leaving From Las Vegas

Zion Canyon has long been one of the most popular national Parks in the country, even during a time when the attendance rates for tourists at national Parks was an all time lows. Over the course of the last 20 years, tours in the national Parks has been struggling and there has been more than a few times when discussion came up in the government as far as potentially closing them down. National Parks receive Federal funding in order to operate, due to the fact that they are actually owned by the Federal government and not by the state that they are located within. In order to keep them pleasant for people to visit, there needs to be money allocated for maintenance and the ongoing operations of the park as well as improvements to the tourism experience. If there are many that argue that if a national park cannot make money with admission charges over and above what they spend in order to keep the place up, then they should be sold off into private industry for development. The National Parks System was never designed as a moneymaking operation, and ultimately is specifically in project that protects our beautiful areas that would potentially be destroyed if they receive no protection. In order to counteract the following pores and rates, advertising and marketing for national Parks was put in place. The marketing campaigns were successful, and tours and rates were raised at most national park spaces. Some Parks saw greater impact than others, Zion Canyon being one of them. Main reason that Zion has gained in popularity so much more than other Parks is its proximity to Las Vegas. The one drawback to most national park spaces with regards to tourism is the remote nature of the location. Simply put, national Parks are a long drive from developed areas in most cases. Zion however, enjoys a sort of travel hack that gives it a bit of a boost when people understand what to do. It is possible to fly into Las Vegas and then drive to Zion from there, ultimately saving hours of transportation time if you were to compare it to driving from most cities. Zion is located only two and half hours from Las Vegas, which gives it a perfect location as the first stop on tours of national Parks that leave from Las Vegas. When you also include Bryce and the grand canyon as well as several other of the national park space is located in the southwest into the same tour, that you realize that you can see several of these gorgeous spaces during the same trip while simply camping overnight after visiting each of them. Zion Canyon tours that leave from Las Vegas can either be single day tours that returned to the city after only one day, or they can be multi day tours that also include other national park areas of interest for people.
