It also encompasses tours, food, hotel, transportation, shopping as well as entertainment, says an article in Dahe News. The following is an excerpt:</P> <P>In recent years, it has become common practice for scenic spots to raise their ticket prices during the holiday week of May Day or National Day. The price hikes at scenic spots in Qinghai were very steep.</P> <P>Qinghai boasts rich tourism resources. After the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in July, some scenic sites in Qinghai started to raise prices, something that has never happened before.</P> <P>Prices at the Qinghai Lake 151 Scenic Site rose from 50 yuan ($6.6) to 110 yuan; at Bird Island from 48 yuan to 138 yuan, to name just a few. During this year's Golden Week National Day, many travel agencies in Qinghai Province made a temporary change to their tourist itineraries to circumvent the Qinghai Lake 151 Scenic Site.</P> <P>The market said no to this site and also sounded a warning to those who decided on the ticket prices arbitrarily. The tapping of tourism resources should not pursue immediate interests only.</P> <P>Unlike the price hikes in Qinghai, scenic spots around the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, lowered their prices, some even gave free entrance. These measures attracted millions of tourists during the recent holiday.</P> <P>West Lake's profits from ticket have been declining, but it is also achieving good results in other aspects. The lake has suffered a loss of 25.3 million yuan every year since 2002 due to its low ticket prices or free entry to visitors.</P> <P>But the lake has spurred the development of a chain of tourist-related industries, and according to latest statistics, these industries have brought in more than 100 million yuan.</P> <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; copyright from en.tibet.cn</P> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/2007101010116-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to 2007 News</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Potala Zhol City" href="../Html/2007111523261-1.Html">Potala Zhol City</a><p><a title="Tibetan drama highlights intl art festival" href="../Html/200711221307-1.Html">Tibetan drama highlights intl art festival</a><p><a title="Win-win co-operation compiles Labrang culture" href="../Html/20071011103644-1.Html">Win-win co-operation compiles Labrang culture</a><p><a title="Tent restaurants popular in Tibet" href="../Html/20071011103453-1.Html">Tent restaurants popular in Tibet</a><p><a title="Lhasa embraces upcoming 17th NCCPC" href="../Html/20071011103232-1.Html">Lhasa embraces upcoming 17th NCCPC</a><p><a title="Carrying forward Buddhism or Fueling Evil Cults?" href="../Html/20071011103030-1.Html">Carrying forward Buddhism or Fueling Evil Cults?</a><p><a title="Tibet road & traffic records issued" href="../Html/20071011102843-1.Html">Tibet road & traffic records issued</a><p><a title="Seeking the lotus holy land" href="../Html/2007101110263-1.Html">Seeking the lotus holy land</a><p><a title="Ownership of Tibet" href="../Html/2007101013557-1.Html">Ownership of Tibet</a><p><a title="Western journalists feel at home" href="../Html/20071010134014-1.Html">Western journalists feel at home</a><p><a title="During the 11 Tibet tourism income over 130 million yuan" href="../Html/20071010111943-1.Html">During the 11 Tibet tourism income over 130 million yuan</a><p><a title="Lhasa: six lines for winter travel is not short" href="../Html/20071010104458-1.Html">Lhasa: six lines for winter travel is not short</a><p><a title="The next three days the temperature started to drop in Tibet" href="../Html/20071010103919-1.Html">The next three days the temperature started to drop in Tibet</a><p><a title="New house for new life" href="../Html/20071010101843-1.Html">New house for new life</a><p><a title="Expert:Natural re-habitation key to Sanjiangyuan wetland renovation" href="../Html/20071010101747-1.Html">Expert:Natural re-habitation key to Sanjiangyuan wetland renovation</a><p><a title="Sichuan-Tibet tunnel group operates" href="../Html/20071010101641-1.Html">Sichuan-Tibet tunnel group operates</a><p><a title="The wrong move of Scenic spots" href="../Html/2007101010116-1.Html">The wrong move of Scenic spots</a><p><a title="Lao Hu Zui Hydropower Station under construction" href="../Html/2007101010855-1.Html">Lao Hu Zui Hydropower Station under construction</a><p><a title="Internet access a boon for deaf and dumb" href="../Html/2007101010551-1.Html">Internet access a boon for deaf and dumb</a><p><a title="Lhasa to build 8 parks this year" href="../Html/2007101010257-1.Html">Lhasa to build 8 parks this year</a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
