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 exceed

. Another cause is that city dwellers

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.Submitted by testuya1116 on
