The Yosemite Park and Curry Company (YP&CC), one of the longest-operating concessioners in the National Park System, played a pivotal role in shaping the visitor experience at Yosemite National Park as its chief concessionaire from 1925 to 1993. Formed through the merger of two major park concessionaires, Yosemite National Park Company and Curry Camping Company, YP&CC set key precedents for national park operations. YP&CC's contributions, including the development of winter sports, cultural events, recreational facilities, and the luxury Ahwahnee Hotel, helped establish Yosemite as a premier tourist destination and influenced tourism infrastructure across national parks.
