Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists but not by 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
tourism
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.
For example

Korea, but
can often not describe these locations in their own country. To address
this
, 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

is done properly,

and the economy as a whole will thrive.
