2025年12月1日起，杭州灵隐飞来峰景区将不再收取门票，游客只需线上预约，就能免费走进灵隐寺、 永福寺与韬光寺，而以往进入这些地方需要支付75元。 放弃门票不等于放弃收入，而是换了一种方式算账。游客省下的门票钱，很可能转化为一顿本地菜肴、 一晚舒适住宿、一件手工艺品。公园从赚钱的终点变成消费的起点，从封闭的景点变为激活城市的引 擎。纽约中央公园周边聚集的艺术机构与商业设施，正是这种流量入口价值的体现。更重要的是，一片 精心维护的公共绿地能够提升整个区域的生活品质与资产价值，吸引人才与企业形成良性循环。 一个年客流量超千万的景区选择免票，表面看是放弃了近10亿元的直接收入，但这笔账，杭州早在23年 前就算明白了。 2002年，西湖拆除围栏、取消门票，那一次舍小利、谋大局的选择，换来的是旅游总收入从2002年的 294亿元增长到2024年的3450亿元。 免票，拆除了公园无形的门槛。它让公园成为谁都可以走进的城市客厅。过去，一道门票像一层筛子， 把愿意付费和无力支付的人隔在两边，如今，公园免费开放让不同背景的人能共享同一片风景。这不仅 是城市空间的开放，更是一种社会理念的回归——把最好的资源平等地交给每一个人。 ...
