Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists but not local people. Why is this the case and what can be done to attract more local people to visit these places?
Nowadays, a wide range of
museums
seems to be appealed mainly by foreign visitors
rather than locals. This
essay is dedicated to analysing possible reasons why this
is occurring and a number of methods to attract more local visitors
.
There is a myriad of factors contributing to the low number of local people visiting museums
and historical sites
. Firstly
, local visitors
may have already visited such
places and have some significant knowledge about their own culture and history. Furthermore
, most museums
and historical sites
are not up-to-date so local people don’t have a burning desire to visit something they have gone through previously. Hence
, local inhabitants may feel like they don't need to return to these places so often and most of the museum-goers are tourists.
Although
it does seem to be a difficult task to gain local people’s attraction to their own historical sites
. However
, there are plenty of ways to encourage them to do so. By housing
not only national masterpieces but Add a comma
,housing
also
international, museums
can diversify the content and meet the ever-increasing demand for educational values of current museum-goers. For instance
, phenomenal paintings from great artists such
as Leonardo da Vinci or Van Gogh, once displayed will draw a great appeal to visitors
and help to broaden their horizons.
Furthermore
, instead
of just housing historical objects, museums
can provide more top-notch facilities such
as a big screen projector which can show vivid videos of wartime. Hence
, visitors
can have full details about the harsh journey their forefathers had to suffer in order to build the country and how they enjoyed their winning over the enemies. This
will definitely encourage them for a second
visit.
In conclusion, attracting local people to visit museums
and historical sites
in their area may be a difficult process. However
, there are still a number of ways that locals could be encouraged to do so.Submitted by hominhtrang995 on
