High fuel prices have taken a toll on the tourism industry, as many Americans have altered their summer travel plans due to the price at the pump. Sheridan County Travel and Tourism Director Shawn Parker says high fuel prices will inevitably have an impact on tourism in Sheridan.

Parker said that people, for the most part, are price sensitive on fuel.

Parker said one of the things that they are excited about is the return of the international market, as over the last six months to a year they’ve seen strong demand and increase from Europe, Canada, Mexico and Australia.

      Fred, you need to stop listening to the President. I know he is the President, and he was voted as President, but you need to keep in mind the mental capacity of said voters. Now, Fuel prices are not the fault of the oil companies. Supply, demand, market, and government intervention are all key factors. The number one reason right now is GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. Tied hands, shut down factories, no room to expand, and dilution of the dollar, are all contributing factors on the market.

      I encourage you to do some research on this. Nothing I said was false, and you will find the same, if you are willing to open your mind and learn. If not, please quit voting. Uneducated voting is destroying the country I love.

          I just fed you some facts, and all you did is bash Trump. Take a look at a calendar, it is 2022. President Trump has not been in office for a year and a half. Blaming Trump? That is hilarious. But by all means, keep fighting. This is comedy gold.

    Europe, and Canada wont produce oil, and biden has banned any new drilling and leases on public lands for a green “utopia”. Gas prices arent coming down anytime soon, Mr. Parker. The “president”, and his radical administration is the problem.
