Cut up the prices due scenic focus on Development and Reform Commission said that "pricing power at the local"

Since August, prices in many scenic spots, spots cover price of Sichuan, Beijing, Guizhou, Tianjin and other regions. Prices for the current phenomenon of the National Development and Reform Commission said: "Local Area ticket pricing at the local, the current policy has not yet been found beyond a reasonable price range."

The responsible person, scenic areas of government pricing ticket prices, the Government
supervised price and市场调节价. The implementation of government pricing and the Government of the ticket prices upervised price administrative privileges prices at the local government authorities, the National Development and Reform Commission does not direct the development of ticket prices, but the direction and supervision of the implementation of macro management.

Focus on a number of scenic spots ticket price

Recently, including in Leshan, Sichuan, Mount Emei scenic area, including a number of tickets or ropeways announced price increases, and the 5 major scenic spot in Guizhou is also planning price increases.

In August,
the Leshan Giant Buddha scenic spot ticket from 70 yuan / transfer of 90 million Yuan / views; a number of scenic spots in Tianjin from August 1 onwards also increase the price, such as the Pa-hsien-shan scenic spot ticket prices from 35 yuan rose to 45 million; the end of last month, Beijing's more than tourism scenic spots corresponding increase in ticket prices, such as the Mountain scenic spot ticket prices from 35 yuan to 45.

For those who do not have the ticket price hike scenic conditions, the increase in the price of cable. Mount Emei Scenic Spot has announced increase in Emeishan Emeishan years Jinding Temple ropeway and cable prices, which Jinding cableway trip up and down the price rose 25 yuan, Temple ropeway years, respectively, from top to bottom line up 25 and 15 respectively.

This is a scenic area over the past year, the first large-scale domestic prices. Analysts have pointed out that in April last year, the State Department issued 8 "1 year attractions are not allowed to drop ticket prices can only rise," the lifting of the ban expires, some scenic places to be "suppressed for a long time," the will of the beginning of the release of price increases, price behavior relatively concentrated.

Increase financial pressure on local governments to promote

Industry said that China's economic situation has stabilized significantly rise,
the economy has entered a recovery channel, consumption is expected to heat up, this is the major tourist attractions have raised ticket prices an important factor. On the other hand, before the 11 scenic spots of the increase in ticket prices to some extent in addition to the holiday factor, at the same time reflects the greater financial pressure on local governments need to rely on ticket prices and increase revenue.

"Some local governments affected by the pressure of fiscal revenue, and wrongly treated as income scenic 'money', this is a very desirable practice. Scenic external excuse 'the protection of scenic spots',' the needs of the construction of scenic spots' for price hikes
In fact, the hearing before the price increase is only going through the motions, really close to the consumers and researchers not involved. "Tourism Research Center of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences researcher, said Liou deqian .

Liou deqian said that such a price is unreasonable, and the income level of the people, the whole does not match the trend of prices. The results of the blind will lead to price increases of tourists increased spending, travel agents costs. Greater problem lies in the fact that the reasons for tourists to give up because of the price of the attractions, travel agencies will also abolish the line, more harm than good.

In this regard, National Development and Reform Commission said: "Tickets are priced at National Development and Reform Commission on the development of a series of requirements, including the scenic Tickets adjusted up to three years,
while the price adjustment on the scenic spots have clear control. It is necessary to note that by the construction of social investment attraction ticket prices are not the government department in charge of the pricing of the price range, from scenic spots to develop on its own. "

Area is not that it would not follow the trend of prices

Some attractions, "up" sound,
the vast number of consumers are most concerned about, "11" Golden Week is approaching, other attractions will follow the trend of prices? Tour prices are not rising dramatically?

This reporter has learned that Shanghai will not follow the trend of the scenic spots, tourist welcome card holders Shanghai tourists can enjoy various kinds of concessions. Shanghai Municipal Tourism Bureau said that this year launched Shanghai Shanghai travel card for tourists and people of Shanghai to provide more convenience and benefits.

Shaanxi scenic phenomenon did not appear to follow the trend. Price Bureau of Shaanxi Province, said local scenic spot price does not appear to swarm, according to prices reflect hotline of view, it has not found any lead to price increases due to scenic tourist complaints in private. Spot prices for
commodity prices also will be in strict accordance with the national implementation of the pricing mechanism.

At the same time that reporters, Yunnan, Shandong, Jinan, and other well-known tourist attractions that will not "11" golden weeks of the arrival of prices, at present there is no ticket price increase Nanjing Area Plan, part of scenic areas in Hebei Province, Hubei scenic prices are not yet .

Liou deqian view, scenic ticket prices,
the local government is responsible. The laws of the market price does not mean that the casual, scenic spots, only the Government the cost of revenue and expenditure transparency to the community through a public hearing to receive public scrutiny in order to truly play the role of the market.

Despite industry estimates,
the "11" Travel Price Tickets prices may be affected by factors, will improve in the current basis into a 1-2. However, travel agencies offer the current view, some popular tourist routes such as Hainan, Huangshan offer basic flat in previous years.
