What is the relationship between the incident of collecting tickets in Fenghuang Ancient City and the flexibility of economics?

Collecting tickets for Fenghuang Ancient City in Hunan Province has become a typical case of government running the city. Tearing off the fig leaf exposes the true colors of some local governments that have long regarded themselves as commercial subjects, and also exposes the true colors of the brutal market economy in the Middle Ages.

The government should use taxes instead of tickets to support itself, but basically most places rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on the sea to eat the sea. If the system is not changed, it will become a mountain king.

In case of sudden attack, Fenghuang county government held a press conference on March 19. From April 10, Fenghuang Ancient City will combine the original free ancient city scenic spot and the South China Mountain God scenic spot into one "bundled sale" to collect tickets from tourists 148 yuan.

Phoenix is a big tourist county and has benefited a lot. On April 3rd/KLOC-0, Cai Long, deputy head of the county, introduced that in 20 12 years, the county * * * received 6.9 million tourists and realized a total tourism income of 5.3 billion yuan, which were12.1times and 765438+ respectively. Gross domestic product (GDP) increased from 835 million yuan of 20/kloc-0 to 4.696 billion yuan, total fiscal revenue increased from 45.43 million yuan to 507 million yuan, and investment in fixed assets increased from/kloc-0 to 4.058 billion yuan. Driven by the leading industry of cultural tourism, the tertiary industry accounts for 67.5% of GDP, directly providing more than 20,000 jobs and more than 60,000 tourism-related employees.

Without tourism, there would be no Phoenix, tourism could not develop healthily for a long time, and Phoenix could not develop healthily. At present, it is a critical moment for the transformation of Phoenix. How to transform determines where this beautiful border town will go-if a modern management and fiscal and taxation system is established, it will become a model of a modern city; If the income is increased by collecting tolls to make up for the shortage, the city will become a contemporary microcosm of stealing mountains in the Middle Ages, not far from Shen Congwen's youth.

The reason why the government collects admission fees is that local resources can't meet the growth of tourists, and the government lacks funds for protection and development. Close-distance tourists are basically unwilling to pay admission fees for scenic spots.

These are the facts.

Ren Zhenjun, director of Phoenix Tourism, said in an interview with local media xiaoxiang morning herald that according to statistics such as cameras, there are 6,543.8+3,000 team members, 6,543.8+0,000 individual tourists and 9 scenic spots in ancient city, South Huashan and countryside. Among these three tickets, there are 300,000 group tickets and 400,000 individual tickets, and the proportion of not buying tickets exceeds 654.38+0. The statistics of Ye Wenzhi, the chairman of Gucheng Tourism Development Company, are even more serious. 70% of people come to Phoenix not to see these nine scenic spots, that is, they don't spend a penny to buy tickets. Before 12 years ago, the annual ticket income of the original scenic spots in the ancient city was only157 million yuan, which was 20 12 years. The ticket income of nine scenic spots in the ancient city was178 million yuan, which was about 40150 million yuan.

In the past, nine scenic spots collected tickets 148 yuan, of which about 30% was paid to the government as tax and management right transfer fee, that is, about 53 million yuan per year, which was used exclusively for the protection of the ancient city and supporting tourism, which was "0".

According to the ticket income distribution plan announced by Fenghuang County Government, the ticket income of Gucheng 148 yuan will be divided into four parts except for the 2% ticket agency fee. Considering that in February, Ye Wenzhi Fenghuang Ancient City Company, Nanhuashan Company and Rural Tour Company contributed 5 1%, and a wholly-owned company under the county government contributed 49%, * * established Fenghuang Ancient City Scenic Area Management Service. The company implements the sales, marketing and service of scenic spot tickets in a unified way. If the company affiliated to the county government enjoys 49% equity income, it will enjoy the ticket fee of 296.5438 billion yuan.

The government cannot obtain a large-scale appreciation of business tax from scattered merchants. Ren Zhenjun, director of Phoenix Tourism, said that the proportion of business tax decline and ticket collection after the decline in shop business has not been done, because it is not easy to count. Ticket revenue is really a treasure, and it doesn't take much effort to get it. The business tax levied by merchants hurts the bones. Ye Wenzhi believes that merchants currently operating in Fenghuang Ancient City miss at least 80 million yuan in tax revenue every year.

Phoenix depends on real estate and so on. Its tax revenue has increased substantially. According to the data of the financial department of Fenghuang County, as of March 3 1, the total fiscal revenue of Fenghuang County in the first quarter was130.83 million yuan, an increase of 26.85 million yuan year-on-year, with an increase of 25.82%, exceeding the state target of 10.82 percentage point, ranking second in the state. From the completion of the county's main tax revenue, it can be seen that due to the strong investment in fixed assets, the accelerated construction of key projects such as real estate investment and development, expressway and park construction, and the good benefits of tourism-related enterprises, the county's tax revenue increased by 33.49%, exceeding the growth rate of non-tax revenue 19. 15 percentage points. Business tax, enterprise income tax, land value-added tax, cultivated land occupation tax and deed tax were put into storage at 67.54 million yuan, an increase of 326,654.38+0 million yuan or 93.36%. Without real estate, property tax and infrastructure, local governments have to drink northwest wind.

Short-distance tourists are free of tickets, business tax collection is weak, local governments are greedy for real money, building five-star hotels and other achievements projects, protecting the ancient city and other tasks are imminent, all factors together, unified collection of tolls has become the lowest cost and most efficient way to make money.

At this time, through local people's congresses and local public opinions, taxes and fees can be paid in a unified way to increase the financial resources of the government. At the same time, through local elites, the interests of all walks of life and the interests between local income and foreign tourists can be balanced. In this way, non-governmental organizations have been trained, citizens have learned to act according to the rules, and all interest seekers have communication channels.

The local government in Fenghuang feels very wronged. Lijiang collects maintenance fees, and Zhouzhuang can collect town fees. Why can't Phoenix charge city fees? Moreover, Lijiang and other places are still prosperous after charging, and high-consumption people can be screened out. Why not?

Other people's mistakes can't prove their correctness. Being the king of the mountain is not the reason to be the king of the mountain. Any barbaric charging behavior that abandons procedural justice has created cracks in the unified market economy, which is the fundamental reason why China's urban economy has become the king of mountain economy and the unified market has been delayed.
