Commercial Use Authorization (CUA)

A Commercial Use Authorization is necessary to operate tours within the park. We are currently under a moratorium on the issuance of CUAs to new operators or to new or expanded operations until the Dyea Management Plan is complete. Please refer to the park planning page of this website for more information on the status of the management plan.

Historic Leasing Program

With over 900,000 visitors arriving during the summer season, Skagway is a shopper's delight. The National Park Service is a part of this thriving enterprise, leasing nine restored historic structures in the heart of the Skagway historic district to private businesses.

As current leases expire, new leases will be awarded based on competitve bids received from prospective tenants. Occasionally, subleasing opportunities occur.
