A hotel in Shenzhen charges a card at the beach. Is this charge reasonable?

This charge is unreasonable and such behavior is illegal.

For scenes like the beach, the beach is originally a public resource and does not belong to any private person. This means that no individual can occupy the beach resource. Wherever there are beaches, there will naturally be beautiful scenery and hotels, and some tourists will have housing needs. But if tourists don’t want to stay in the hotel, the hotel cannot force the tourists to stay in the hotel. This is an act of buying and selling by force.

1. What is going on?

This incident happened in Shenzhen. We all know that Shenzhen is a seaside city, and there are beaches along the coastline in some areas. The beaches in Shenzhen are mainly concentrated in Meisha and Dapeng New Districts. This incident happened in Dapeng New District in Shenzhen. Because the beach in this place is relatively remote, a hotel has built a road to the beach here, and also built a hotel near the beach. It is precisely for this reason that the hotel will set up a charging point at the entrance of the beach to require tourists to stay in the hotel.

2. The hotel means that all public facilities are built by the hotel.

This statement makes people feel a bit ridiculous. When the reporter interviewed the hotel staff, the hotel said that there was no road here before, because the hotel built a road to the beach, so everyone can go to the beach. If tourists want to enter the beach, they must choose to stay in this hotel or buy a package ticket. This kind of behavior has involved forced buying and selling, and the reporter also reported this behavior of the hotel to the industrial and commercial department.

3. This charge is unreasonable.

As I said above, the beach resources themselves are public resources and do not belong to any individual. While other hotels did build the road, that doesn't mean the hotel has taken ownership of the beach. To a certain extent, land occupation is illegal, and hotels cannot forcefully charge fees in any name, or even make profits from it. For this hotel, forcing tourists to stay will not have a good impact on this hotel. The hotel's behavior is very short-sighted.
