Commercial Use Authorizations

Anyone (referring to individuals, corporations, and other entities) wishing to provide commercial services for El Morro visitors in limited circumstances must apply for a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA) (PDF) before conducting any type of commercial service. CUAs, although used to authorize commercial services to El Morro visitors, are NOT concession contracts. They are intended to provide a simple means to authorize suitable commercial services to visitors in the limited circumstances of the legislation (Section 418 of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act of 1998, Public Law 105-391).

Commercial visitor services means accommodations, facilities, and services the NPS has determined to be necessary and/or appropriate for public use and enjoyment of a Park area provided to Park area visitors for a fee or charge by person. The fee or charge paid by the visitor may be direct or indirect as part of the provision of comprehensive visitor services. Please allow thirty business days for processing. If you have questions, you may contact the Commercial Use Authorization Coordinator at 505-285-4641 ext 225.
