Houston Zoo increases admission prices
The Houston Zoo is raising admission prices, saying that it will allow the zoo to provide a better experience for guests.
That may be so, but what's missing is exactly what will be done to improve the zoo. The story says the zoo's budget is increasing by more than $2 million for FY2006, but zoo officials don't provide details of what is planned, except to say that "the increase will help the zoo continue to add staff and improve animal exhibits."
That's rather vague. Is the price increase being instituted without a specific plan? What more do zoo guests get in return? Frankly, it gets tiresome to see prices go up without a clear picture of what the increase will buy.
If the zoo raises prices again in a couple of years, will we still be left wondering what the last price increase bought?
