regardless of wealth status, everyone has the right to travel and have full autonomy to choose a travel plan that suits them

during the national day holiday, anhui huangshan scenic area attracted a large number of tourists. recently, some netizens posted that they found that toilets, restaurants and other places on the top of the mountain were crowded with overnight tourists. many people said they found it difficult to accept, saying, "it's hard to imagine what it would be like to sleep on the toilet floor" and "it's just a no-brainer."

this is not the first time a similar phenomenon has occurred in huangshan scenic area. during the may day holiday last year, some netizens posted a video of "a large number of tourists crowded into the toilets in huangshan to spend the night." at that time, the scenic area management committee said: "despite various persuasion, there are still more than 800 tourists staying overnight in public places on the mountains of huangshan scenic area. "

tourists spending the night in public places will inevitably bring about management problems. once these facilities are occupied on a large scale, they may become unusable. secondly, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous at night, so there will be certain risks. therefore, neither scenic spots nor public opinion encourage this kind of behavior.

however, this behavior of tourists is both an active and a helpless choice. the sunrise in huangshan mountain is a beautiful scenic spot. many tourists come from thousands of miles away, and of course they hope not to leave any regrets. however, during the peak tourist season, many hotels have no rooms available, so tourists can only choose to "sleep out".some people say that this is "eating without hardship", but i'm afraid it's not that simple. who doesn’t want to travel comfortably, leisurely and leisurely? however, due to various conditions, many people can only choose to "travel on a budget".

there are indeed many guides on the internet that teach how to stay overnight for free and travel on a budget. including recommended places suitable for sleeping outdoors, recommended equipment and clothing to bring, etc. it is undeniable that staying overnight for free and getting up early to see the scenery has become a tourism model. although it is hard work, for many tourists, it is almost the only option under consideration.

then the question comes,should scenic spots protect the right to travel on a budget? should this behavior be recognized to a certain extent and provide certain protections?

this also reminds people of the "instant noodles issue in scenic spots" that caused controversy not long ago. some scenic spots have adopted quite strict management measures on instant noodles, which has triggered a lot of online controversy. some netizens also questioned, since tourists are traveling, why should they save money on a meal?

but in essence, eating instant noodles is also a right for everyone. it is a rational choice that people make after considering various situations-either to save money, or not to be "ribbed", etc. as public opinion on the internet has fermented, quite a few scenic spots have expressed their acceptance of instant noodles, and some even provide boiled water for free.

judging from the trends such as "special forces tourism" and "ben county tourism" that have emerged in recent years, people are actually paying more and more attention to the overall cost-effectiveness of tourism. this is a signal that the market is returning to rationality, and it is also a narrative of equality in tourism - regardless of wealth status, everyone enjoys the right to travel and has full autonomy to choose a travel plan that suits them. even if it is a very hard way like sleeping outdoors, as long as you enjoy it, why not do it?

in fact, huangshan scenic area does this. for example, huangshan scenic area stated that "it cannot adopt a coercive approach. it can only be said that it is like a welcoming pine, warmly serving every tourist." it has taken measures to open hotel restaurants, lobbies and other public places at night, and uses voice reminders. "don't affect others' normal use of the toilet" and do your best to provide basic services.

to be sure, huangshan is not the only place where similar phenomena exist. for major scenic spots, in fact, they might as well do their best to protect the rights of "poor travelers", provide basic services as much as possible, and ensure the order of the place and the safety of tourists.if the scenic spot can treat all tourists equally - whether they spend a lot of money or travel on a budget, this can be regarded as a brand promotion and service display of the scenic spot., it will definitely win the favor of tourists and the public and obtain more long-term returns.
