Focus on Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China

There will be a hearing on the ticket price increase.

Compared with the second draft, the third draft in April of 20 13 clearly stated that "the increase of scenic spot ticket prices should be announced six months in advance"; At the same time, the regulations for controlling the price increase procedures of scenic spots such as tickets have been added. "The use of public resources for the construction of scenic spots should strictly control the price increase of tickets and other separately charged items. If you want to raise prices, you should hold a hearing to demonstrate its necessity and rationality. " Don't "attract customers" at unreasonably low prices.

According to the "zero-negative tour fee" regulation, travel agencies are not allowed to organize tours at unreasonably low prices, to induce or deceive tourists, and to obtain kickbacks and other illegitimate interests by arranging shopping or paying for other tourism projects. Serious illegal operation, closed for 3 years.

Li Fei, deputy director of NPC Law Committee, said that the reception fee and asking tour guides to pay the "tour fee" are also important reasons for the "zero negative tour fee". Accordingly, the third review draft stipulates that travel agencies should pay the tour guide service fee in full; Travel agencies shall not require tour guides to pay in advance or charge any fees to tour guides; The package travel agency shall pay the travel agency no less than the cost of reception and service. It is forbidden to overload the scenic spots to receive tourists.

With regard to tourism safety, the third review draft proposed that if the scenic spot does not meet the opening conditions to receive tourists, it shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification until it meets the opening conditions, and a fine of more than 20,000 yuan and less than 200,000 yuan shall be imposed. When the scenic spot may reach the maximum carrying capacity, it fails to report to the local government, fails to divert in time, or receives more tourists than the maximum carrying capacity, and shall be ordered to make corrections. If the circumstances are serious, it shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification 1 month to 6 months.

10 10/month 1 day, the Tourism Law will be officially implemented. For the National Day Golden Week products that have been launched by various travel agencies, we can find four major changes in the contract content, such as canceling the designated shopping itinerary and self-funded items, and including tips in the tour fee.

The insiders believe that the implementation of the Tourism Law will effectively curb zero-negative group fees and enhance tourists' travel experience. However, because the tour fee includes a lot of expenses, the overall tourism price will be further raised after the National Day.
