Grand Canyon National Park visitors at Mather Point in July 2022.

Business leaders in communities around the Grand Canyon are hoping to draw more visitors to towns and tourist sites outside the national park. 

The Tusayan Chamber of Commerce is hoping to return tourism to levels from before the pandemic. To get there, it wants people to stay longer.
