Hainan is one of the famous travel destinations in China. If you want to visit Southern Mountain in Sanya, Hainan, the admission fee is 168 RMB. When you want to go to restroom, it will surprise you that there is no paper towel provided. You can either choose to not go, or you should pay 5 RMB to buy it!
Actually, all the tourism products in China are not friendly in price. The accommodation is expensive, the ticket is expensive, and the souvenir is expensive!
Do you think that those are the only problems you will meet with? Sorry, it is not that easy! When you are traveling, you must also take care of being cheated! It also happens in Sanya. There was a report that shocked the whole nation, that a restaurant charged customers 4000 RMB for only 3 dishes! It is said that the waiter killed the fish as soon as the customer asked the price. And then he said it is 1160 RMB per kilogram, and forced customers to buy it. It is horrible, right?
That is what I want to talk about. The pricing in Chinese tourism really needs our attention. Local governments always raise the price to profit from taxes. But it is true that the high price has shaken the determination of going to China for a visit. What we can do to change this dilemmas? Who should be responsible for this situation?
I won’t say that all the tourist destinations in China are unwise in pricing. There are still some good examples for other city to model after, such as Hangzhou. What they do to lower price, and promote profit at the same time?
I will talk about them later in my other blogs. Please leave me any comments or questions, and communicate with me. If you can take 1 minute to check out my survey for this blog, I will appreciate it a lot!
