Checking entrance fees for each guest is a REQUIRED aspect of every CUA program.
CUA holders are required to ensure their clients, age 16 and up, have paid the park's $15 per person entrance fee or have a valid Interagency or Denali Annual Pass. All CUA holders must report their fee collection method to the Fee Program Manager. Guides are exempt from entrance fees. Learn more on the Denali Fees Website and review the CUA Fee Collection information sheet to determine how your company should process entrance fees.
Application Fees
A $350 non-refundable application fee is charged on the first CUA application (or activity) for a one- or two-year CUA. Each subsequent CUA at the same park is $250 for a one- or two-year CUA. Application fees are charged by park.
Application fees may be deducted from the Annual Fee in year one only and may not be carried over into the second year of the CUA.
Annual Fees
Denali National Park and Preserve charges a market price fee (also called the Annual Fee) in order to recover costs associated with the administration and management of your CUA.
The market price fee is a fee based on a percentage of your revenue earned from in-park or park-based operations. You are required to report this information each year when you submit the mandatory CUA annual report. The percentage of revenue market price fee is based on the following:
Less than $250,000 earned from park-based operations – 3% of gross receipts (minus application fee in year one of the permit)
$250,000 to $500,000 earned from park-based operations – 4% of gross receipts (minus application fee in year one of the permit)
More than $500,000 earned from park-based operations – 5% of gross receipts (minus application fee in year one of the permit)
Mountaineering exception – all revenue earned from in-park or park-based operations is subject to 6% of gross receipts (minus application fee in year one of the permit)
