Expert: price can't become a mere formality

Obviously, in some places in the country we greatly required, play the "on have policy, there is countermeasure" before, in order to complete the superior "to reduce the quota index", put some visitors rare, are not well-known, already free and open attractions for "pretend to play the Yu", to "slip by".

Tourism Bureau of Jiangxi province quality supervision and management Deng Xiaoming director and the personage inside course of study thinks, some YouLanDian price direction is very good, is a good start. But this price can't become a mere formality, doping "moisture", so will let the public toDomestic tourismLose confidence.

For reduction were free at the same time, some visitors also found, free often at the expense of the service quality of scenic spots.

During the interview, many tourists complained to reporters, scenic spot after free, general mountain scenic area of the public facilities maintenance is not in place, such as garden spots of disrepair, urgent maintenance. Visitors to the scenic spot free and open welcomed the move, but they also do not want to because no charge is to reduce the area of investment, reduce the maintenance and service of scenic spots for tourists.

But if things go on like this rely on ticket revenue is not desirable, mature scenic spot operation should improve tourist in two times, three times the consumption area, focus on improving the "basic necessities of life entertainment" big tourism comprehensive economic benefit, and no longer simply rely on ticket revenue. So, scenic spot after reduction, tourism service won't "discount". (source: xinhuanet.com)
