the united states expansive national park system admission fees
The reading passage presents three arguments for abolishing the admission fees for national parks in the United states. However, the speaker in the lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He mentions that the fees must continue.
First of all, the author assumes that there should be no charge to enter the national parks since they are public property and citizens of the country should enjoy the parks for free. Nevertheless, the lecturer offsets this idea by declaring that the parks rely on the revenue from fees to pay the workers' salaries and insure the facilities are up-to-date. According to the lecture, the government would have to increase federal and state taxes to cover these expense in case the income from admission fees was lost. Thus, the lecturer asserts that it's better to leave the fees in place and let people who want to use the parks pay the cost.
Secondly, the writer holds that charging money for admission could discourage visitors from coming to the parks, especially large groups who would prefer to stay several days since they would end up paying exorbitant rates and they would choose to go to other entertainment venues. In contrast, the lecturer challenges this scenario by saying that the fees actually encourages more people to hang out in national parks. He further elaborates that the YS park gets thousands of visitors each year although they charge a high fee for entrance. Therefore, abrogating or scraping the entrance fees could lead the park to become overcrowded and unpleasant. On the other hand, maintaining fees for large parks would encourage people to try smaller parks which have lower ticket prices.
Lastly, the excerpt contends that checking every single person for tickets is time-consuming and results in long waiting times and long lines. In addition, this tedious task exhausts workers and make them unavailable to do other work in the park. Nonetheless, the listening posits that upholding the entrance fees guarantees high quality of service and safety in the park. The main reason behind this rationale is that cars would have to go through many checkpoints where there would be an opportunity for park rangers to inspect for any suspicious objects that might pose a threat.
