Discouraging bike tourism with unreasonable fees

Wheels of Happiness






Many bike tourists swarmed to the post hometown because of unique biking experience and also the presence of many cafe shops that featured boutique cheap coffee, and that offers splendid view of the Metropolis especially at night

We do not know what happened to the people concerned But one day we found the entrance fee of P200.00 being imposed after a series of action:   closing the subdivision gate, placing of razor sharp concertina barbed wire.    etc.

Now who is in his right mind cyclist would pay the P200.00 which is considered exorbitant   This will naturall drive away the cyclists.  The P200.00 is signal for them not come and to drive them away.
Maybe the coffee shops, while providing jobs will find a new spot somewhere but tourism in this town has been dealt a hard blow.  

It is not only in this town.  In another mountainous place, visitors visitors  have to pay  an entrance fee of P200.00.   The free entrance to passers by, Uzi could have boosted sales of the resto and the subdivision.  But some people sweat the small ticket items for short term gains
