Dear Lodging & Business Partners,
We are working hard to provide you with the information and resources that you need to plan for this summer season and act as a liaison with the National Park Service on your behalf. We know many of you have questions and we hope this page will provide answers. As always, the Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau is also working to promote Mariposa County as a destination separate from Yosemite. We’ll be providing resources to share with visitors of things to do outside of the park for those that can’t get a day-use reservation to enter Yosemite and need things to do between the hours of 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Find in-depth resources on what to expect this summer in Yosemite on:
- Yosemite.com page which provides info on the temporary reservation system as well as what is open in Yosemite and Mariposa County.
- NPS.gov page on the new temporary reservation system.
Provide special offers to be featured on Yosemite.com
This is a great and free way to advertise your property, and better yet, a special offer can be anything you want.
If you’re a lodging-based business, something like 10% off when a person books five nights or more is an example. For a restaurant, consider providing a free appetizer or dessert when a group spends $100 or more. For retail, 10% off total purchase when someone mentions the word “Yosemite” would be a potential special offer.
Think of this as a way to promote your business in a way that has a marginal impact on your bottom line. By posting a special offer on Yosemite.com’s special offers page, you’re getting your business seen by as many as 20,000 people in a month. We spend money to advertise these special offers so you don’t have to.
Benefits include:
- Free advertising for your business
- Opportunities to increase length of stay
- Control over the offer – dates of stay, days of week, etc.
- Offer value-added or discount offers
- Opportunity to highlight Summer offers and/or Fall offers
