Other than this past year, which is an anomaly, many of the parks are heavily traveled by foreigners. Particularly they busiest parks.
Nothing xenophobic about it. As the owners, citizens should have first access if we need to reduce numbers as you suggest.
Will we have to show our papers to enter the parks?
Even before the pandemic, foreign visitors made up 9% of the visitation to Glacier, and only 6% of visitation to Zion, so restricting foreign visitation will not solve the issue.
I believe that sharing the worlds cultural and natural treasures brings people together. It would be really sad if Egypt decided to no longer let foreigners into Giza, France no longer let foreigners visit the Louvre and Australia no longer let foreigners visit the Great Barrier Reef.
