Although raising of tickets leads higher incoming during musim ramai pariwisata,tickets should not be a principal form of ecotourism,whose rapid development cann't be soloved by raising the price.Actually,the incoming is merely one limited part of tourism incoming,once the visitors have come,their consumption such as shopping,diet,transportation can definitely make contribution for the prosperousness of local economy.
According to reports,since 2002,Hangzhou will open most of West Lake scenic spot for free,which reduces the tickets income nearly about 2530 0000 yuan,however,the total profits,up rather than down.Free tickets after three years,"income of the scenic spot management department benefits over 10,000,000 yuan,and brings about the whole tourism industry in Hangzhou a new economic benefit more than 10 billion yuan.Other example as in any other country in the world,the tickets are reasonable low,such as in Europe,visiting church almost needs fees,such as the world famous cologne in Germany's cathedral,French Notre Dame DE Paris.While in China,many temples charge scarily.In foreign countries,the fee of many famous tourist attractions is not high ,such as collection of world cultural treasures of the Paris of the Louvre,charging 8 euros,which equals to an absolute value of RMB 70 yuan,but within French average income of comparison,which is equivalent to Chinese 7-8 RMB,and every weekend is free.The fee of Italy's chichen itza is only 6 euro.In Japan,the natural landscape is free of charge,cultural landscape also costs very lowly.Furthermore,with the increasing number of tourist season passengers,tourism service level also reduces,which should not be the reason of increase tickets income.
As far as I am concerned,the arriving of the tourists ,who cherish the humanistic values,natural scenery values,history education knowledge value,undoubtedly improves reputation of scenic spots and local city and expands the social,economic and cultural exchanges and promotes the social,economic,and cultural development with potential power.The investment to the tourist attractions,should be regarded as the local city's development and social public welfare,and should not be regarded as part of the machine to make money .
