many historical sites and museum are mainly visited by the tourists but not by the local people. why is this the case and what can be done to attract more local people to visit these places?

Millions of people visit Big Ben and the houses of parliament in London every

year, but

surprisingly most of these visitors come from outside the UK. In fact, many famous monuments and attractions seem to appeal mainly to visitors rather than to locals. In my

view

view, this

this

is because of a lack of

knowledge

about attractions by locals.

Also

, people often lack the free time and motivation needed to fully explore and know their home region compared to travelling overseas. To tackle

this

phenomenon, history in schools should include local

knowledge

and locations as well as national or international

knowledge

.

In addition

, the government should encourage domestic

and give incentives for people to travel more domestically.

To begin

with, many schools and colleges do not emphasise the importance of regional culture to students, so they are often unaware of historical places and events in their own towns.

Korea, but

can often not describe these locations in their own country. To address

, the education system should emphasise local

knowledge

and history by encouraging students to visit local attractions as well as learning about places overseas. A

second

key issue is free time. Many people have limited vacation time and will often choose to travel internationally rather than stay locally when they have a few days off. The government could boost domestic

tourism

by promoting local events and locations, providing financial incentives to tourist attractions and by making sure that tourist authorities cater to local as well as visiting tourists. In conclusion, the best way for

tourism

to develop is by making sure local sights and events are well-known and promoted both
