Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Some people think that tourists should pay more money to
visit
cultural and historical places than local residents. I do not agree with
this
motion. In my opinion, local people and tourists should pay the same fee to
visit
museums and historical places.
Firstly
, if the government increases

for tourists, the number of tourists who

the country can decrease.

Secondly
,

can be equal both for the local people and tourists because both of them have a right to
visit
cultural and historical places equally. To separate visitors in terms of their nationality is not a good sense and in my opinion unfair. Some countries are notorious for unfair

such
as Turkey and Greece.
For example
, Topkapı palace is a very popular historical place in Turkey. It is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year. It is very famous all over the world.
However
, according to the news, which I have read it recently, the number of foreign visitors is decreasing due to high
ticket
fees in Turkey. The
price
for tourists is four times higher than for local visitors in some museums in Turkey.
Hence
, many tourism agents criticise governments because of

visit
cultural and historical places. To increase

By contrast

Furthermore
