國家發改委表示，我國將進一步降低景區門票價格，以促進旅遊業的健康發展。

Local authorities should complete cost surveys of 5A and 4A scenic areas this year and lower ticket prices that are too high, according to a statement on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission.

國家發改委在官網聲明，今年，地方當局應完成5A和4A景區的成本調查，並降低過高的門票價格。

Tourist attractions are urged to continue offering favorable ticket policies to soldiers, teenagers, senior citizens, students and the disabled, according to the statement.

聲明指出，旅遊景區也將被督促繼續爲軍人、青少年、老年人、學生及殘障人士提供優惠門票。
