Ticket costs must not rise too fast, official warns

Ticket prices for tourist attractions should not rise too much or too quickly in case it stops people from visiting them, a senior tourism official has warned.

Admission fees at attractions in China have generally risen more rapidly than in other countries in recent years.

In the hope of slowing down the trend, the China National Development and Reform Commission announced in 2007 that attractions wouldn't be able to make ticket price adjustments for three years.
