Protect heritage sites' legacies

UNESCO World Heritage sites should use the honor to better protect their tangible and intangible legacies, instead of raising ticket prices to make more money, says an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph. Excerpts:

The 38th annual session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, held in Doha, added China's 2,400-year-old Grand Canal and a section of the ancient trade route of the Silk Road to the World Heritage list. Although it's a great honor for the country, people are worried that new world heritage sites may raise their ticket prices.
