Nowadays museum and historical sites are mainly visited by foreign tourists instead of locals. Why this is happening? What can be done to get locals to visit museums and historical sites more?

In recent times, foreign visitors are seen to

visit

the historical sites and museums more often than the local people.

This

is happening because

locals

the locals

do not want to expend money by watching same old heritage pictures and statues. Again, the ticket price

to

entry at these museums have increased double in the

last

three years.

However

government

the government

should

low

the ticket price and

make plans to organize

monthly exhibition

Suggestion

monthly exhibitions

a monthly exhibition

in these museums and historical places so that locals as well as foreigners can

visit

these sites more often.

Firstly

, people are

nowdays

the period of time that is happening now; any continuous stretch of time including the moment of speech

nowadays

too busy in their daily life that they do not make time to spend quality time with their families and friends. Again, general people will not spend money in the museums by watching same things again and again. They do not find these sites appealing to them. But the foreigners who come to

visit

for the

first

time in a country, are more interested to know that country's culture, history and development through visiting the historical places.

For instance

, a recent survey shows that, foreign tourists are seen to

visit

Lalbagh fort, the key tourist attraction in Dhaka, every year than the local people.

This

survey

also

shows that locals do not

visit

these sites due to lack of newness.

Secondly

, the ticket prices for entering these museums should be lower for the local people. Beside

this

, some kind of fun activities can be introduced

for example

, quiz contests are great for youngsters as they will more be interested to come and participate in the contests and in

this

way it will help them to build up knowledge about history and culture. In conclusion, government can take some actions to make our history alive and

also

introducing new programs can make the locals as well as foreigners interested to

visit

these sites.
