Many museums and historic sites are mainly visited by tourists rather than by local residents. What are the causes of this? What can be done for museums and historic sites to attract more local visitors?

Every country's heritage is played an important role in the economy. The majority of travellers are willing to explore different archaeological sites around the world.

museum that displays ancient findings. A social survey conducted by Oxford University indicated that flocks who know the surrounding are not willing to pay expensive ticket prices for a few hours of the day. In order to improve the citizen's travel experience, governments can initiate new policies.

First

of all, the foreign ministry can reduce ticket prices for locals or provide them with free entry passes. To cite an example, giving a season pass to visit the ancient palaces and other historically important destinations has encouraged people to come and experience their own identity.

Secondly

, releasing funds to build different kinds of museums dedicated to art and craft, literature and traditions can attract a lot of individuals who are studying in the given field.

Thirdly

, authorities have to organise a wide variety of events to spread the importance of viewing

such

locations. To sum up, the country's citizens are the taxpayers, and it is the government's responsibility to offer the facilities that motivate them to enjoy their own heritage.
