Elephant trunk mountain scenic spot is questioned for monopoly

Whether it is a "tourism shoot" or a photo taken by a photographer with a tourism team, I have never heard that it is necessary to apply to the relevant administrative department for approval and permission. Although the Elephant Trunk Mountain Park is famous, it is only an ordinary scenic spot, not a cultural relic protection unit, and the photo taking will be negatively affected. Therefore, as long as these photographers do not interfere with other tourists' travel activities and affect their travel experience, scenic spots should not interfere and should be banned.

However, after the incident was exposed, some netizens who have been to Elephant Trunk Mountain Scenic Area hit the nail on the head: the reason why the scenic spot managers banned some people from taking pictures was only because it affected the photography business operated by the scenic spot itself or contracted by others. In other words, some professional photographers rob the business and profits of the photo spots set up in the scenic spot, so the scenic spot will find various reasons and excuses to prohibit these people from taking pictures in the scenic spot, which is inevitably suspected of monopolizing business.
