Beijing Cracks Down on Forbidden City Scalpers, 6 Agencies Suspended
2023年8月10日小于 1 分钟
Six travel agencies in Beijing were suspended for scalping tickets to the Forbidden City
on Wednesday. This marks the first major enforcement action after the country’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued new guidelines cracking down
on tourist site scalpers in late July. Tourism ticket scalping has been a long-standing problem in China, especially during the summer when demand for tickets to major tourist attractions is highest. According to preliminary
research by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism's data center, this year's summer tourism may achieve a market share of 27-30% for the year.
