Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $20,000,000

The contract spans a decade and includes multiple revenue streams (tour tickets, food & beverage sales, retail merchandise). Based on comparable NPS concession contracts, annual gross revenues can range from $3 million to $8 million, with the concessionaire retaining a percentage after franchise fees. Assuming a 20‑30 % net margin, the annual profit could be roughly $600,000 – $2.4 million, yielding total earnings over the 10‑year term of approximately $6 million to $24 million. Therefore, a reasonable budget estimate for the contractor is between $5 million and $20 million over the contract life.
