It has been observed that foreign tourists visiting museums and historical site outnumber local people. Sidelining of locals by authorities during promotional activities of these places and collection of high entrance fee meant for foreign tourists being collected from local people are two of the many reasons causing
this
. Multiple solutions can be implemented to draw local travellers to these sites. If we visit any museum or an ancient site in any part of the world, we will seldom find locals tourists. The major source of revenue for
such
 places is the entry fees collected from visitors. The charges for foreign visitors are generally high as the authorities know that they will pay
such
 a high price to visit the monument as they have travelled specifically for that.
However
, the majority of the local people will not be able to afford
such
 a high price, which in turn discourages them from visiting these places. The unaffordable entryway fee gives an impression to the local crowd that the authorities are only interested in attracting foreign tourists. To add to that local government bodies seldom include local community during promotional events of these places; most of the time celebrities or eminent public personalities are involved.
This
 makes local people feel alienated, which in turn reduces their interest in frequenting these places.
Firstly
, it should be mandatory to have a separate fee structure for foreign and local tourists.
This
 would make it more affordable for local tourists to visit historical sites.
Secondly
, authorities should involve local people more often in promotional activities.
This
 would make them feel involved and important and help create more awareness among the local people about the place. Local people while travelling around the globe can act as evangelists and spread word about museums and historical sites far and wide. In conclusion, keeping reasonable entrance fees for local people and involving them in events related to museums and historical sites will help in increasing the number of local tourists visiting
such
 places.
