自家安保出问题，却要游客来买单？卢浮宫上调门票，多方不满

Core Viewpoint - The Louvre Museum in Paris plans to significantly increase ticket prices for international visitors starting in 2026, which has drawn criticism as it appears to shift the financial burden of security issues onto tourists [1][3][4]. Ticket Price Increase - Starting January 14, 2024, the ticket price will rise from €22 to €32, marking a 45% increase, while group tickets led by professional guides will increase to €28 [3]. - The ticket prices for visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) will remain unchanged [3]. - The Louvre expects to generate an additional €15 million to €20 million annually from this price increase, which will be allocated for renovations and addressing structural issues [3][4]. Visitor Statistics - The Louvre anticipates hosting 8.7 million visitors in 2024, with 69% of them coming from abroad, particularly from the United States and China [3]. Renovation and Security Measures - The renovation plan includes enhancing security measures following a high-profile jewelry theft in October, where €88 million worth of jewelry was stolen [4]. - The Louvre management has announced urgent measures, including the installation of 100 new surveillance cameras and the introduction of a "security coordinator" position by 2026 [4]. Broader Implications - The Louvre's price increase may signal a trend among other cultural institutions in France, as the French Minister of Culture indicated that other major tourist sites will also implement price hikes targeting international visitors by 2026 [5]. - The U.S. government has similarly announced significant increases in national park entrance fees for foreign tourists, further indicating a global trend of rising costs for international visitors at cultural and natural sites [5].
