Nowadays, perspectives of whether museums should collect entrance fees or not are
among people. Some people believe that museums should charge fees for their own benefits while others think that
would cause negative impacts to museums more than positive aspects. Despite there are some drawbacks for charging people when they enter the museums, I am convinced that there are more merits than the demerits.
On the one hand, it can be argued that museums will be less popular among visitors. Charging the fees for entering exhibitions will cause visitors or travellers to avoid visit the places.
is because those travellers, especially international travellers, have limited budgets to spend while they are travelling.

to serve only the right target customers.
In conclusion, it seems to me that
there is a negative impact of
when they choose to charge visitors the entrance fees, there are more benefits that museums could receive as they could have new incomes for their expenses and have only the
of right target visitors.
