10 . The tourism market has witnessed a boom in both supply and demand in a “Golden Week” holiday. Yet it is both a blessing and a challenge for tourist spots. Overcrowding in scenic spots, difficulty in obtaining tickets for popular sites, potential risks, and limited tourism services are severe. To address these challenges, we put forward the following approaches:

It is important to estimate the potential number of tourists on any given day, and make proper arrangements in advance based on its capacity (承载量). With modern technology, the tourist spots can work out time slots and restrict ticket sales to better manage tourist inflow.

By adopting new technologies, the tourism industry can better ticketing channels, simplify the booking process, and make it more convenient. As for special groups such as schoolchildren, the elderly and people with disabilities, the tourist spots should offer offline ticket purchasing options. According to real-time visitor flow data, tourist spots can extend the opening hours and introduce nighttime options.

Besides hiring trained personnel to control the crowds, the tourist spots should also consider building multiple entrance and exit pathways to prevent overcrowding. To enhance visitors’ experience, tourist spots should consider open up more parking lots during peak tourism seasons, and they should reserve separate parking zones for buses and private vehicles.

With the boom come the increasing potential risks. Hence, a safety-oriented development approach is vital, such as, identifying vulnerable areas, working out emergency plans and conducting a thorough safety assessment of internal facilities, especially amusement park equipment, cable cars, slides, as well as shuttle vehicles and other facilities. Most importantly, they should keep all essential equipment ready to deal with extreme weather and keep emergency escape channels open and free of disorder.

The authorities, on their part, should tighten market management to protect the legal rights and interests of tourists, strengthen regulation of tourism companies and encourage them to respect business ethics (道德), without turning to price gouging or forced shopping. And they should ensure tourists can easily access complaint channels and their complaints are promptly addressed.

3. According to Paragraphs 2 & 3, which of the following might the author agree with?

A．Tourists can only obtain tickets through online purchasing channels.

B．Tickets should be purchased without any booking process or time limit.

C．Tourist spots can turn to advanced technology for the better arrangements.

D．Tourist spots should shorten the opening hours to limit the inflow of tourists.
