In the vast self-driving journey, National Highway 318 and Ali Grand Ring Road are undoubtedly classic routes full of challenges and beautiful scenery. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but it is also accompanied by some inconveniences during the journey, one of which is the problem of tourist toilets. I personally experienced the tourist toilets on these two routes, and had an intuitive feeling of their charging standards and service quality.
I must point out that the charging standards for tourist toilets along National Highway 318 and Ali Grand Ring Road are not uniform. In some remote scenic spots, due to the high maintenance cost, toilet charges are common. Most of these toilets cost 1 yuan. In some more developed scenic spots or around the city, tourist toilets are mostly free. This difference reflects the difference in investment in tourism infrastructure construction and maintenance in different regions.
In my personal experience, the hygiene and quality of the tourist toilets that pay for a fee are often unsatisfactory. Some toilet facilities are old, not cleaned in time, and have a foul smell; Others lack the necessary maintenance, resulting in serious damage to faucets, flushing equipment, etc., or no water at all. Such an environment is undoubtedly a torture for tourists, especially when convenience is urgently needed after a long journey.
I've also found some commendable exceptions. In some scenic spots, even tourist toilets are available for a fee, maintaining a fairly high standard of hygiene and service. Not only are these toilets clean and tidy, but they are also equipped with amenities such as hand sanitizer, hand dryers, and some even provide free paper towels and hot water. This kind of service undoubtedly enhances the travel experience of tourists, and also makes people's impression of these scenic spots greatly improved.
When thinking about this phenomenon, I believe that there should be a reasonable balance between the cost of tourist toilets and the quality of service. On the one hand, scenic spots need to make up for the operation and maintenance costs of toilets through fees; On the other hand, exorbitant charges or poor quality of service can harm the interests and satisfaction of tourists. Therefore, when formulating the charging standards for tourist toilets, the managers of scenic spots should fully consider the actual needs and affordability of tourists, and at the same time increase the investment and maintenance of toilet facilities to ensure that a clean, comfortable and convenient toilet environment is provided.
In addition, I also believe that ** and related departments should play a greater role in the construction of tourism infrastructure. By increasing investment, optimizing layout, improving standards and other measures, we will promote the comprehensive upgrading of infrastructure such as tourist toilets. At the same time, a market-oriented mechanism can also be introduced to encourage social capital to participate in the construction and operation of tourism infrastructure, so as to form a diversified and sustainable development pattern.
The price of tourist toilets in scenic spots is not only an economic problem, but also an important issue related to tourism experience and civilized image. I hope that through this article, more people can pay attention to and think about this issue, and jointly promote the healthy development of the tourism industry.
