attracting locals

in some practical ways. There are two main reasons why museums and historical sites are preferred more by tourists than by local residents. One reason is that museums are too familiar to the locals.If museums do not change anything, there will be nothing new for the locals to discover.Like eating the same dish every single day, they feel bored with visiting the same places.

Furthermore

, entrance tickets at some historical sites are expensive for the local inhabitants to afford.

this

issue effectively.

this

trend.
