Tour operators are opposing the government's decision
This is a change from the previous dual tariff system under which the fee was $5 for World Heritage Sites and $2 for protected monuments such as the Red Fort & Purana Quila.
For domestic tourists, the entry fee has been fixed Rs.10 for each World Heritage monument and Rs.5 each for the other monuments. The Union Culture Ministry says the step was taken to address the panic in Indian tourism organisations caused by the falling dollar rate, and check the slide in Archaelogical Survey India (ASI) revenues. At the moment, most in the tourism industry disagree with such an assessment. There are 3,568 protected monuments in India, of which only 124, including 17 World Heritage ones, have an entry fee. The total revenue from ticketed monuments in 2006-07 was Rs.60.84 crores – up from Rs.53.91 crores in 2005-06 and Rs.52.9 crores in 2004-05. Is it monumental gain or monumental blunder?
