Re: China children's average height free ticket expert: national standards need to be formulated
reporter: you must be priced by the government, right?
staff: they are all public institutions.
reporter: but why don't you implement this rule under six?
staff: This is something I can't answer for you, because these are management regulations.
in the official web page of Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the reporter found that only children under one meter in height can be free from tickets. Children from one meter to 1.4 meters can buy half price tickets. Its staff told reporters: we are in accordance with the provisions of the Tourism Bureau to do, each region is not the same.
in addition, the reporter found that Beijing Tanzhe Temple and the Tai Tai Temple, Shanghai marine aquarium, the Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, Shandong Taishan and other well-known scenic spots are only the height of the standard.
how to protect the normal operation of public services and maximize the rights and interests of children is a common problem faced by many industries. How do experts in the industry look at this?
experts believe that one of the most important problems facing China's children's free ticket policy is that the standard is not unified. It is difficult to make the actual implementation of the standard and make it difficult for the public to enjoy real benefits.
Tong Lihua, director of the center for juvenile legal aid and research in Beijing, says the benefits are involved. If the implementation departments of these specific policies are made to establish standards, children are difficult to get great benefits and benefits, and must have national standards, not only industry standards and local standards.
in the legislative plan of the National People's Congress this year, the revision of the law on the protection of minors has entered the preparatory list, including the content of the amendment of the child free ticket policy. Experts suggest that our country can choose some more suitable industries as the breakthrough point of reform, for example, in recent years, the standard of children's free tickets in China's parks, tourist attractions and amusement places has been quietly changing.
most of the city park amusement parks and museums in Beijing, since 2012, the double track system has been carried out in accordance with age and height, and experts suggest that the government should promote this measure in all park tourist attractions and amusement parks as soon as possible.
Xue Lan, director of the school of public management at Tsinghua University, said that height is not the key factor in public places like the park. If young people are particularly encouraged to come out and more to the park to relax, the age of free tickets can be raised.
in the traffic department of relatively short public resources, experts believe that the rights and interests of children should be guaranteed, and the maneuverability of the policy of free ticket should be taken care of. It is possible to take special documents for children over a certain standard and facilitate the inspection of children's age.
Tong Lihua said, now underage can do an identity card, and students have student card. With the development of society, there may be children's cards in the future, just like old age cards for the elderly, which are all problems that can be solved.
