There are also National Memorials, National Seashores and Lakeshores, National Rivers and Heritage Areas, National Historic and Scenic Trails. All of them are under control of this organization.

Management job concerning National Parks has its own peculiarities. National Park Service protects natural and historic features, but it does not look into the matter of services to visitors. In this situation, hotels, cafes, travel offices, food courts, water parks and different attractions play an important role in National Parks management.

All these businesses are mainly located near the National Parks. Their amount depends on popularity and size of the National Park. Those candidates can start their business on the territory of the National Park who provide the best conditions of service to the visitors.

National Parks activity depends heavily on seasons. Moreover, the flow of visitors also depends on the season to a considerable degree. Most popular time among tourists is summer. Every year more than one million people visit every National Park. In a whole, about 300 million tourists visit them every summer.

Some parks are so large that hundreds of hotels, restaurants and cafes are required here. That is why more than ten thousand seasonal workers are hired there every year. The most in-demand jobs are visitor use assistants, park guides, park rangers, waiters, hostess, ground keepers, sandwich makers, ride operators, dishwashers, bus persons, room attendants, food and beverage staff, etc.
