Tourist industry lowering prices

Top scenic spots in southern China have lowered prices to attract tourists back to areas pummeled by blizzards in January and February.

Some scenic spots received no visitors for 20 consecutive days during and after the worst weather in 50 years, while many others suffered a dramatic drop in business.

The total loss across the country is estimated at 6.97 billion yuan, according to the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA).
