Original: Grand Canyon tourism slumps after 2025 fire as businesses wait for Congress to speed rebuilding
Tourism around the Grand Canyon has dropped following the 2025 fire, hurting local businesses that depend on visitors. Business owners are pressing Congress to speed up funding and legislation to accelerate rebuilding of damaged facilities and infrastructure, warning that continued delays will deepen economic losses in gateway communities that rely heavily on park traffic.
Why now: Congressional inaction on rebuilding funding is compounding the economic damage from the fire, keeping the issue in the news.
