Higher Entry Fees: the Best Solution? As is recently reported, many famous sites of historic interest in china have begun or are considering raising entry fees during peak travel seasons, which having aroused a lot of public attention and also public debate. As for my part, raising admission ticket prices is not so good a solution. In contrast, lowering the prices may be a better way as long as appropriate actions are to be taken. In view of interests of tourists, the rising in the entry fees is certainly no good news at all. According to the state’s stipulations, holidays, festivals, and even vacations are all set fixed, and people either are at or off work. Once off, they almost all rush out to enjoy the very delightful tours that have been looked forward to for quite a long time. If, at this very moment of setting forth, the entry fees should be raised, the would-be tourists will for sure feel discouraged if not disappointed. Of course this is against the human-orient notion of development, for which the government has been long striving. Adding to this is the fact that the lifted entry fees may stop those less well-off tourists from entering the historic interest sites. Indisputably, this is not fair and against average people’s will. Considering the preservation of the historic spots, raising entry-fee charges will, in practice, not work out well. Higher fees may stop the lower-paid people, but certainly not the rich ones, who are in large number. Hence fee-raising is not the solution to the problems of preservation, at least not the best one. While if we set a limit in the number of tourists rather than a hurdle of entry fees, things may get better—fairer. As a premise, such information about the historic interest spots as entry fees, tourist-number limits, procedure of reservation, and their like, should be announced in advance, whether through internet or whatever else. Besides, adjusting the time setting of holidays to cater to different groups of people may help. For instance, International Labor Day only for workers, Teacher’s Day only for teachers. In a word, more measures should and could be taken than just charging higher entry fees. The point is, people’s cultural rights should be ensured and guarded. As the achievements acquired by human as a whole, sites of historic interest belong to all people. And every one at once has the right of enjoying and the obligation of protecting these sites. It is people’s natural will that every person has access to the site-enjoying on the basis of protection. Thus entry fees are not the critical point, and since China has a population of 1.37 billion, charging higher entry fees will help little if there is anything it can help. All in all, low entry fees to ensure people’s cultural rights and practical tourism mechanism to preserve these sites are the overriding things for us to concentrate on. By making the aforesaid things a point, there will be a great possibility of a harmonious situation concerning tourism, and we can hopefully look forward to it.
