$15 Island Entry fee is too too much for people staying on the island
Jekyll Island Historic District的点评
点评:The rating would have been a 5 except for the $15 fee we were charged to enter the Island during the Christmas season.
Everyday, there is a $10 fee to enter the island. This pays for all the island’s operating costs so that the state does not have to pay for it. That’s fine EXCEPT island visitors who stay in the hotels or other paid lodging should have some sort of lesser fee. If we had known that the first night of the Christmas season would have cost us $15, we would have left a day early. I’m going to write as many reviews as possible in online forums warning people about this. I would prefer to receive the lodging and other sales tax benefits from people staying on the island than upping the daily entrance fee to $15. And for people who say, “Duh! Just don’t leave the island”, that limits people from spending additional money on shopping and food in surrounding areas. I just don’t understand the thinking behind this, and it put a damper on what was otherwise a fantastic trip.
翻译:如果不是圣诞节期间上岛要收15美元的费用,我会给它打5分。
每天上岛都要收10美元的费用。这笔钱用来支付岛上的所有运营成本,这样州政府就不用承担这部分费用了。这本来没什么问题,但是住在岛上酒店或其他付费住宿的游客应该享受一定的优惠。如果我们早知道圣诞节第一晚要花15美元,我们肯定会提前一天离开。我会在网上论坛上尽可能多地写评论,提醒大家注意这件事。我宁愿从岛上游客那里获得住宿和其他销售税的优惠,也不愿看到每天的门票涨到15美元。有些人可能会说:“废话!那就别离开岛啊!”,但这样一来,人们就无法在周边地区购物和吃饭了。我实在无法理解这种做法背后的逻辑,这给原本一次精彩的旅行蒙上了一层阴影。
