答案             Higher Entry Fees During Peak Travel Seasons: Not a Smart Move
    With the increased income and accumulated wealth among the general public, a lot of tourism attractions witness a great increase of tourists in recent years, especially those of historical interests, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and so on. Having observed such a trend, a lot of tourism sites of historical interest are considering adopting higher ticket prices. When it comes to this issue, I am strongly against it, and reasons supporting my stand against such a practice can be divided into the following three parts.
    The first thing that comes up in my mind is the nature of these tourism attractions. Different from other tourism attractions, such as carnivals, zoos, amusement parks, etc. , which basically need further investment to maintain well operation, historical sites, as the fruits of our ancestors and common wealth of our whole nation, which need only necessary maintenance, do not need and have no reason to charge higher entry fees.
    Another important reason is that these sites also perform the function of educating the general public about the culture and history of our nation. Higher prices during the peak season will surely influence a majority of those who are interested in the historical and cultural sense of these sites and plan to pay a visit to such tourism attractions. And the peak season means the only time available for some of them who are busy with their work or academic study in ordinary days. In such a manner, the educational value of historical sites can not be fully realized. Researches regarding the feelings of general travelers during the peak season usually get the results of dominant dissatisfaction, and temporarily higher price surely contributes a lot to this dissatisfactory result.
    Thus we can move naturally to the third point that conduct like this will inevitably lead to a tourism industry that is not sustainable. Simply taking money from the general citizens without providing them with better service accordingly will never produce a tourism industry that is healthy enough to maintain its future development.
    From the above analysis, we can see the unreasonable nature of such a policy to raise ticket price of the historical tourism attractions temporarily. Such historical sites should be operated through official fund and public support, so that these sites can well play the role of historical and cultural education, and more and better understanding of who we are as a cultural entity could be promoted. Also, improved service quality, more rational outing schedules as well as balanced distribution of tourists among different destinations can only be achieved through the interaction between tourism consumers and service providers in the years to come.
