Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists, not local people. Why is this the case and what can be done to attract local people？

A number of

museums

and historical buildings are an important part of cultural heritage, but they are mainly visited by tourists rather than residents, for which there are several reasons and some measures can be taken to address

this

issue. There are some reasons that result in

this

phenomenon. One reason is that local

museums

and historical sites are good ways for holidaymakers to experience other cultures

first

-hand, which helps them to learn to respect local traditions and customs.

As a result

, most travellers choose local

museums

as their ideal places to travel, leading the number of them

. Another cause is

that city dwellers

those city dwellers

are reluctant to spend their time visiting tourist attractions since they prefer to stay at home and catch up

on holidays after hectic daily schemes.

That is

to say,

people

lack time and energy to visit local

museums

and historical buildings. Various measures can be taken to tackle

this

situation.

Firstly

, the government can give financial support to

museums

and historical sites in order to improve the quality of exhibitions and facilities, and hire more professional travel guides. If

museums

become more educational and enjoyable, they would attract more local

people

to visit.

Also

, the government can run campaigns to arouse citizens’ awareness of cultural heritage, especially the youth.

For instance

, governments can give a speech to students at school to deepen their understanding of the importance of

museums

.

Furthermore

, the local museum can lower their ticket price or allow local residents to visit free of charge.

This

would boost their interest in local

museums

and lighten the financial burden of disadvantaged

people

who have a tight budget to afford tickets. All in all, to conclude, there are several reasons for

this

issue. But we can solve these problems by funding local

museums

, running campaigns as well as offering free tickets.
