tourist places have many museums as well as sites of historical relevance.

However

,

such

places are majorly visited by foreign visitors rather than the natives.

This

essay intends to discuss the reasons behind

this

phenomenon, and suggest some ways to ameliorate

this

problem before drawing a reasonable conclusion. To commence with, there are various reasons why a majority of visitors prefer to go to historical monuments. The

first

and foremost is that they are fascinated by these the history of host countries.

Thus

, in order to explore and learn more about the culture of the host country, they go on a vacation to these areas. Local individuals,

on the other hand

, do not have anything extraordinary to view at

such

buildings and museums as they do not undergo regular upgradation.

As a result

, they find it sheer wastage of their money. To cite an example, the Qutub Minar in Delhi has not been renovated over the years. Moving

further

, several steps can be taken to influence local people to go to sites with historical relevance. The

first

step could be providing free-of-cost entry to individuals belonging to nearby cities.

For instance

, the Art Museum in sector 10, Chandigarh, invites students from local schools without charging any entry fee.

This

attracts children's parents as well.

Moreover

, historical areas should be maintained and renovated from time to time so that natives visit them more often. In conclusion, I reiterate that

although

historical monuments and museums attract more visitors because they do not undergo regular changes, still authorities can attract local people

also

by improving these places and providing free entry on specific days.
