This year has seen another price increase for many tourist spots in China as many of them have kept prices unchanged for the past three years. According to a 2007 regulation promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission, tourist spots cannot hike their prices in the three years after the price is set. And now, as many scenic spots have passed the three year "price rise restrictions", many have started applying to increase their ticket prices. Has price hike become common practice? Is it justifiable? |
