In a bid to attract more tourists to the area, Hainan's Provincial Pricing Bureau announced that the overall ticket price at 82 scenic spots in the province has been slashed by 32%.<\/p>\n
The 82 scenic spots are divided into three categories. Ticket price for sightseeing and folk customs sites have each been reduced by 30%, and the discount for travel groups visiting these sites must not go beyond this rate.<\/p>\n
Prices for special travel items has also been cut by 35% and that for travel groups must not be more than 40%. In order to prevent bribery, the above pricing does not include commission.<\/p>\n
Travel agencies believe that the lower price will benefit individual tourists As the profit for travel agencies and guides will be reduced as a result of this price adjustment, some individual guides might regain the loss by adding more shopping spots on their tours.<\/p>\n
In February 2006, 62 two-star and higher grade hotels in Hainan's Haikou signed a four-party agreement on hotel room rates with the Haikou Hotel Association, Haikou Tourism Bureau and Haikou Pricing Bureau. The agreement requires all signatories to price hotel rooms no less than their cost price, and hotels that violate the agreement shall be punished by the pricing and tourism department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
