No, I wasn't overlooking this issue. As a matter of fact
this would be the issue. Keeping the price high would
cut down the number of overhead visitors. Businesses would not go out
of business
because they don't have one currently.
??? Clearly, you've not seen the HUGE tour operators in Las Vegas,
whose main business is taking tourists on scenic flights over the
canyon.
You limit them to 2 days per week (or whatever) of flying rights, and
they won't survive. Pilots, handlers, ticket agents, etc., will be
thrown out of work, and hundreds (thousands?) of tourists will be
denied their flight of a lifetime every WEEK.
You know, in general we talk about promoting aviation on this group --
your comments seem quite out of step with this attitude.

If you didn't limit the days or
time, everybody with 41 hours would be over the canyon every minute of
every day. Make it expensive, it's expensive go by boat, With boats
there are only so many permits per year and it works.
