Interpretation of hotel prices at the top of Mount Tai

On the afternoon of April 4, the comment that “hotels in Mount Tai are so expensive that tourists spend the night in toilets” aroused social concern. Taishan attaches great importance to it and immediately organizes comprehensive law enforcement, market supervision, territorial management and other departments to conduct a thorough investigation. Hotels that raise prices without authorization to make profits will be severely punished and will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of tourists. The explanation is as follows:

1. The accommodation situation of the Peak Hotel. In order to protect the world cultural and natural heritage of Mount Tai, Mount Tai Scenic Area has always implemented the strictest planning and construction control on the top area, with very few hotels and other buildings. Currently, there are 13 hotels of different grades in the Peak District (two more are closed for repairs), with 400 guest rooms and 998 beds. During peak tourist seasons, such as holidays, tourists can only reserve rooms a few days in advance. Most of the tourists who choose to climb Mount Taishan at night are young tourists. Most of them will bring their own cotton-padded jackets or rent cotton-padded jackets, and build nests in hidden places such as corners, mountain cols, caves, and toilets. Sleeping on the top of the mountain waiting for the sunrise. This is also a common phenomenon among people who have climbed Mount Taishan at night for many years. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in Mount Tai, some hotels and restaurants will temporarily open restaurants, conference rooms, etc. Provide paid consumption services with clearly marked prices for tourists who have not reserved a room, allowing tourists to take a temporary break from the cold indoors.

Second, hotel prices. According to the relevant provisions of the Price Law, the hotel accommodation service industry implements market-regulated prices, which are independently formulated by operators in accordance with the law and are subject to daily government supervision. Currently, the price of a double-standard room in Peak Hotel in the off-season is around 200-1,200 yuan. In the peak season, the price fluctuates due to supply and demand. Visitors can choose according to their needs. This price is based on comprehensive consideration of production and operation costs (high transportation, labor, operation and maintenance costs) and market supply and demand (there are many tourist rooms, and it is difficult to find a room). The operator sets the price independently, clearly marks the price, and manages it in a civilized manner. Prices are announced and sold publicly through stores and online for tourists to choose independently. Shanshan District has been rated as a provincial-level civilized management area for many consecutive years. During the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, the market supervision department did not receive any complaints about the Peak Hotel’s “ground pricing” and unilateral breach of contract.

Three. Daily supervision and management of scenic spots. The comprehensive law enforcement and market supervision departments of the scenic area have always insisted on normalized supervision of commodity and service prices. They sign a "Price Integrity Commitment" with mountaintop operators every year to urge operators to strictly implement clearly marked prices. Before the Qingming Festival, the scenic area management committee organized market supervision, comprehensive law enforcement, public security, fire protection and other departments to investigate and rectify the price, food safety, fire protection and other conditions of business households in the mountain, and interviewed key hotels, restaurants, small commodities and other key areas one by one. The person in charge of the merchant requires the operator to abide by the concept of "treating tourists like family members" and resolutely put an end to illegal activities such as price fraud. During holidays, law enforcement and supervision departments implement 24-hour uninterrupted supervision and strengthen price supervision through administrative suggestions, administrative guidance, administrative penalties and other methods. Investigate and punish illegal activities such as price gouging, excessive asking for prices, forced buying and selling, etc.

In the next step, Taishan Scenic Area will draw inferences from one example, conduct a comprehensive census, continuously improve management methods, increase the frequency of inspections, and improve management levels

According to statistics from the Taishan Management Department, there are currently 13 restaurants on the top of Mount Tai Hotels of different stars are in operation, with a total of 400 rooms and 998 beds. Rooms and beds are limited, especially during the peak holiday travel period, and cannot meet the accommodation needs of all tourists. Tourists often need to book a week in advance to obtain suitable accommodation, which can be said to be "hard to find a room." Most of the tourists who choose to climb Mount Taishan at night are young tourists. Most of them bring their own cotton-padded jackets or rent cotton-padded jackets, nest in corners, cols, caves, toilets and other places, sleeping on the top of the mountain to wait for the sunrise. This is also a special sight for tourists who have climbed Mount Tai to watch the sunrise over the years.

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in Mount Tai, sometimes in order to meet the needs of tourists who have not yet snapped up a room, hotels and restaurants will temporarily open catering departments to provide tourists with paid consumption services, allowing tourists to take shelter from the wind and cold indoors and take a temporary rest. However, these services are completely provided on the basis of clearly marked prices, reasonable reciprocity, and voluntariness, and there is no forced consumption behavior.

It is understood that according to the provisions of the "Price Law", there are three main forms of pricing of goods and services, namely government-guided prices, government-set prices and market-regulated prices. Hotel accommodation services such as hotel accommodation are subject to market-regulated prices, which are independently determined by operators in accordance with the law. With the recovery of tourism and the arrival of the peak season, accommodation prices at Taishan Peak Hotels vary according to star rating and service facilities. Double-standard rooms generally range from 200 to 1,200 yuan per night, and prices will increase during holidays. However, all prices are based on considerations of production and operation costs and market supply and demand. Operators independently and clearly set prices in accordance with laws and regulations, and announce them to the public through stores and the Internet. At present, most hotels in Taishan Daiding can be inquired and booked through the online platform, allowing guests to make their own choices voluntarily. There is no such behavior as price-raising or temporary breach of contract. Some media reports that hotels adjust prices arbitrarily are inconsistent with the facts.

The reporter learned from the investigation that relevant departments such as market supervision and comprehensive law enforcement in scenic spots have always insisted on regular supervision of the prices of goods and services. They sign a "Price Integrity Commitment Letter" with operators every year to urge them to strictly mark prices. . On the eve of the Qingming Festival, the Nantianmen Market Supervision Office of the Taishan Scenic Area Market Supervision Branch and the Nantianmen Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade of the Taishan Law Enforcement Bureau conduct special training for merchants in the jurisdiction through regular meetings every Friday, invite price supervision experts to give lectures, and organize relevant departments to jointly conduct key inspections Merchants conduct dragnet inspections and publish price supervision complaint hotlines 12315 and 0538-96008888 through multiple channels to urge operators to eliminate price fraud and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of tourists.

From the evening of April 3 to the early morning of April 4, due to the cooling, the temperature on the top of Mount Tai dropped to -4 degrees. Some hotels, restaurants and other business units on the top of Mount Tai opened public areas in a timely manner to provide students and tourists with places to keep out the cold, which was well received by most tourists. Here, the reporter also reminds tourists that the temperature at the top of the mountain has been relatively low recently. Tourists who plan to visit the mountains at night must book a room in advance, bring enough warm clothing, and try to visit the mountains during the day.
