Why do I have to pay for traveling to famous scenic spots?

First of all, without income, the scenic spot can't invest manpower and material resources in management, so the expenses such as garbage cleaning and road maintenance must be allocated by the state finance, which is not a small expense.

Secondly, tourists who don't charge tickets in scenic spots will have a sharp increase in traffic and destroy the natural landscape. Nowadays, tourism is actually a small luxury. It's not that people can't afford tickets, but that many people will give up sightseeing because tickets are too expensive, which will reduce some passenger flow (only suitable for high-quality scenic spots, and it is pure X to set high tickets in unknown small scenic spots). In order to avoid the influx of a large number of people at the same time, management is difficult.

Thirdly, tourism in many places accounts for a large proportion of fiscal revenue, and local economic sources may rely more on this scenic spot, so they dare not reduce prices (this idea is actually very backward, because high tickets block many tourists, so as long as there are more tourists, there is no worry about making money).
