It's the mid autumn festival right away. For many people, do they want to travel with their families and escape from the city? It's reported that before the 11th, 314 scenic spots across the country had their prices reduced, which saved a lot of money for travel, so let's play during the 11th.
'the ticket price of China's 5A level scenic spot is more than 100 yuan at any time, and the price ranging from 100 yuan to 200 yuan is the general price. 'a senior tourist player who has been walking in the north and south of the Yangtze River all the year said in an interview with a reporter from the China times. Many tourists who hold the same view have said that, in addition to the high price of admission fees, many 4A and 5A scenic spots also need parking fees, inter district bus fees, transfer bus fees, village entrance fees and other fees. For ordinary tourists at the working level, it's really expensive to visit such scenic spots.
But that could improve this year.
On September 3, the reporter of China Times learned from the national development and Reform Commission that, as of August 29, 157 scenic spots in 21 provinces had issued or announced measures to reduce the price of scenic tickets or open them for free, and 157 scenic spots in 25 provinces would go out of Taiwan to reduce the price or open them for free before the 11th.
It is reported that among the 314 scenic spots with the price cut, more than 70 scenic spots with a 20% drop and 30 scenic spots are open for free. According to the statistics of scenic spots, there are 121 national 5A scenic spots and 155 national 4A scenic spots.
In recent years, the ticket prices of many popular tourist attractions in China are generally on the high side, especially during the "golden week of the 11th" and the holidays. The price reduction of scenic spot tickets has always been called for by the majority of consumers, and the battle of scenic spot price and price has become a social topic of concern and discussion.
On March 5 this year, Premier Li Keqiang pointed out in the government work report that we should strengthen the basic role of consumption in economic development, promote consumption upgrading, and develop new forms and models of consumption. At the same time, it puts forward that we should establish the whole area tourism demonstration area and reduce the ticket price of key state-owned scenic spots.
The reporter learned that since Premier Li Keqiang proposed to reduce the price of scenic spot tickets, the national development and Reform Commission issued the guiding opinions on improving the ticket price formation mechanism of state-owned scenic spots and reducing the ticket price of key state-owned scenic spots on June 28 this year, so as to gradually reduce the price of scenic spots with high prices.
Dr. Zhang Yujing, assistant researcher of International Trade Department of Research Institute of China Council for the promotion of international trade and specialized in tourism, analyzed in an interview with China times that, as pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "the major social contradictions in China have been transformed into the contradiction between people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development", and tourism just represents a better life for the people An important part of living needs. At present, the number of tourism per capita in China has reached three or four times, and tourism has become a daily life style of people. "This time, the price reduction is just a trend to meet the public's demand for a better life and tourism life. It's good news for most travel consumers. 'said Zhang Yujing.
Reporters in the national development and Reform Commission published a deadline of August 29, "provincial key state-owned scenic spots price reduction situation (drop more than 20%)" statistics chart, the provinces of scenic spots price reduction, price reduction measures and implementation time are not the same.
Among them, the ticket price of Xiyuan temple in Suzhou decreased by 80% after the price adjustment on May 1 this year, from 25 yuan before the adjustment to 5 yuan, which is one of the scenic spots with a large decline in ticket price. Two national 4A scenic spots in Beijing, Hongluo temple and Qinglong gorge, are reduced from 70 yuan ticket price before the adjustment to 54 yuan after the adjustment, with a price reduction rate of 23%. The introduction time and implementation time are August 1 this year.
Qinglong gorge tourist attraction office staff said in a telephone interview with our reporter that the ticket price of 54 yuan has been maintained for many years. It was originally determined in the first half of this year that the ticket price will be increased to 70 yuan, but the notice of price reduction was received before the implementation date of the new price, so the ticket price has been 54 yuan.
The reporter saw on the official website of Qinglong Gorge Scenic spot that on March 26 this year, the website released the announcement of ticket price adjustment of Qinglong gorge tourist resort, which showed that the adult ticket price of Qinglong gorge tourist resort was adjusted from 54 yuan / person time to 70 yuan / person time, and the half price preferential ticket price was adjusted from 27 yuan / person time to 35 yuan / person time, which was implemented from August 10 this year.
Hongluo temple, another scenic spot in Huairou District, also had a price hike before, which also failed to reach the implementation date. The reporter saw on the official website of Hongluo temple the announcement on the adjustment of ticket price of Hongluo Temple scenic spot in Huairou District of Beijing issued on June 25, which showed that the adult ticket price of Hongluo Temple scenic spot was adjusted from 54 yuan / person time to 70 yuan / person time; the half price preferential ticket price was adjusted from 27 yuan / person time to 35 yuan / person time, which was implemented from August 10 this year.
Zhang Yujing said that the scenic spot ticket price reduction is not only conducive to the upgrading of the internal structure of the tourism industry itself, but also plays a role in promoting the tourism consumption of residents. At present, the country is actively building a global tourism demonstration area. The centralized price reduction of scenic tickets is a corresponding policy to promote the development of global tourism and meet the needs of the people for high-quality tourism and quality tourism.
According to Zhang Yujing's analysis, most scenic spots rely on the ticket economy at present, but the ticket economy is disadvantageous for driving the local economy in all aspects. The ticket economy and the high ticket prices of scenic spots are not conducive to the high-quality development of tourism economy. The budget of most tourists is limited. If the ticket price is on the high side, shopping, catering and other consumption activities will be reduced accordingly. 'but if the ticket price of the scenic spot is reduced, it will promote some economic forms around the scenic spot and in the scenic spot, not only will the scenic spot drive the growth of retail consumption of some small forms around, but also the whole regional economy of the scenic spot. 'said Zhang Yujing.
Recently, Ms. Gu, who just came back from Kanas tourism in Xinjiang, told the reporter that she and her classmates went to Kanas for graduation tour. In addition to the ticket fee of the scenic spot, the inter district bus fee and village entrance fee, one person spent more than 600 yuan and three people spent nearly 2000 yuan.
Reporters in the national development and Reform Commission released the "key state-owned scenic spot price reduction in each province (a drop of more than 20%)" statistical chart saw that Xinjiang Kanas Scenic Spot in the price adjustment list is one of the 5A scenic spots with a large drop. Before the adjustment, the peak season ticket price was 295 yuan, after the adjustment, 195 yuan, and the off-season ticket price was adjusted from 145 yuan to 100 yuan; before the adjustment, the peak season ticket price was 165 yuan, after the adjustment, 130 yuan, and the off-season ticket price was adjusted from 135 yuan to 110 yuan; before the adjustment, the peak season ticket price was 125 yuan, adjusted 95 yuan after the whole. According to the annotation of the price reduction chart, due to the large area of the scenic spot in Xinjiang, while the ticket price drops, the price of the inter district bus in the scenic spot also drops in an all-round way, with an average drop of 30%.
'I went to many world heritage sites in the United States for free, as well as some national museums, memorials and other public pavilions. If you go to some national parks in the United States, you can buy an annual park ticket worth 80 dollars (about 550 yuan), and you can go to nearly 2000 parks all over the United States. 'Ms Qu, who worked in Beijing after returning from studying in the United States this year, talked to our reporter about the ticket prices of American tourist attractions.
Some netizens have made statistics and calculation. If you visit 136 5A level scenic spots in China, the ticket price will cost 19085 yuan. The reporter learned that as of September 2, 2017, the National Tourism Administration had identified 249 national 5A level scenic spots. According to the latest statistics, the total price of tickets will cost much more.
The reporter further learned on Ma beehive's website that the annual ticket for the US National Park of $80 is a one-year period, and two names can be registered on one annual ticket. In addition, many national tourist attractions in the United States, such as the statue of liberty, the U.S. Capitol building, the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the National Zoo, the Glacier Park, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and many museums, are free to the public. Among the U.S. National Parks listed in the world heritage list, tickets for Grand Canyon National Park and Yellowstone Park are expensive, which is only 25 yuan, Hawaii Volcano National Park and Everglades National Park are 10 yuan, and Olympique National Park is 15 yuan.
Compared with the low price of American tourist attractions, the per capita income is far lower than that of American China, but the price of tourist attractions often ranges from 100 to 200 yuan.
'5A level scenic spots and world cultural heritage scenic spots can still reach more than 100 yuan even if the tickets are discounted by 80% or 90%. Besides visiting scenic spots, there will be no other consumption. "Most tourists have said that some ordinary level scenic spots have had half price reduction, but 4A and 5A level scenic spots have kept the original price, and the price is on the high side. Occasionally, the price is still on the high side in the discount period.
Many tourists are concerned about whether the ticket price of scenic spots will be normalized?
Zhang Yujing believes that China's scenic spots are divided into 5a, 4a, 3a and other different levels. For some rare tourism resources, there are certain difficulties in resource management, similar to non renewable resources, or because a large number of tourists may have an impact on the sustainable development of the scenic spots, the possibility of ticket price reduction in scenic spots is not great, and there is no need for price reduction.
'China's scenic spots are usually large and of many types. In the future, there will surely be more scenic spots suitable for mass tourism gradually transforming into open scenic spots, gradually reducing ticket prices and turning to scenic spots as the core, driving the surrounding areas to develop in the form of global tourism and to transform into an open economy. At the same time, there will also be different types and levels of scenic spots to further open to the public in the future. 'said Zhang Yujing.
