Nowadays museums and historical sites are mainly visited by foreign tourists instead of locals.

1-Why is this happening?

2-What can be done to get locals to visit museums and historical sites?

Recently, museums and historical places are being visited by international tourists rather than
national tourists. Mostly foreigners prefer to discover new places and historical sites of a nation and to
encourage locals some new facilities should be provided.
As it is mentioned, many international tourists are keen to discover new culture and diversity as a
result, they visit museums and historical parts of the hosted country, while locals are not interested.
visiting museums and historical sites is an unforgettable moment of tourism and an amazing part of
discovering new places which is the important part of tourism plan, on the other hand as locals have the
access to their domestic museums and historical places, it has been something routine to visit the same
places.
To make museums and historical places more interesting to domestics new facilities should be
provided to draw their attention. However, locals can easily visit museums and historical sites and even
most, it is cheaper for them, it becomes boring for them and causes less enthusiasm when they visit places
with no changes from time to time, so new restaurants, café, resting rooms, photography facilities,
mentoring have to be provided to attract locals.
