Kenting National Park has long been a favorite among both domestic and international travelers, and is a must-visit destination for many tourists from mainland China. Some of its free attractions, in particular, have drawn large crowds, impacting the local ecosystem. In response, the park management authority decided to adjust fees at certain attractions to “manage visitor volume through pricing.” Starting in 2016, six previously free sites—including Niao Bi Tou and Guan Shan—will begin charging admission, while fees at already paid attractions will also be raised. The goal is to implement a user-pays system and provide visitors with a better travel experience.
