CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas >> Fans of sharks have a high-tech way to monitor the swimming animals as part of a new display at the Texas State Aquarium.

The “Saving Sharks” exhibit opened Tuesday at the aquarium in Corpus Christi. The $325,000 exhibit allows visitors to track tagged sharks via computer. Guests can also touch bamboo and epaulette sharks, plus check out a diving cage. The exhibit also features efforts to preserve shark populations.

The exhibit is supported by Ocearch, the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

Greece to raise fees for cultural sites

ATHENS, Greece >> Cash-strapped Greece is planning steep increases in ticket prices for ancient sites and museums, which travel agents say could hit the country’s key tourism industry.

The Culture Ministry wants to raise the ticket for the Acropolis to 20 euros from 12 euros, and to double entry charges for other popular sites and museums — which all together attracted more than 6 million visitors in January-June.

The government says current charges are “unacceptably low.” It argues additional revenues could offset austerity measures demanded by international bailout creditors, such as higher taxation on all private education.

The new prices would apply from April to November 2016, with a 50 percent discount for the rest of the year.

The federation of Greek travel agents warned last week that the hike would drive tourists away.

Hotels, airlines and and other U.S. travel companies have been expanding in China to cater to the growing number of Chinese travelers.
