Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists, not local people. Why is this the case? What can be done to attract local people? (Vietnam, 22.06.2019)
It is true that many museums and historical places attract a multitude of tourists instead of local inhabitants. There are several reasons leading to this and solutions should be adopted to solve this issue.
Museums are more often visited by tourists for a number of reasons. Firstly, people who live in the neighborhood are often familiar with their traditional customs and history. Therefore, they lean towards devoting their spare time to exploring the unseen or unknown at other places. Meanwhile, tourists tend to go to places that they have never been to, so that they can have a better understanding of local cultures and arts. In addition, the expense of entrance fees to these historical sites may be a deterrent to many local people. Take the ancient citadel of Hue in Vietnam for example. When going to this place, visitors have to pay around 7 dollars, which is a great amount of money for average Vietnamese people.
However, there are a range of measures that the government could take to address this issue. The first step is for the authority to arrange appealing exhibits or programs at these sites. For example, some didactic as well as recreational competitions should be held to stimulate the locals’ curiosity and interest, and therefore they could attract them to pay a visit to these places. Another measure that can be taken is to lower admission fees or offer discount tickets to the locals to encourage them to visit these historical attractions.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that in many regions tourists have more interest in visiting museums and historical areas than local residents do. However, there are many measures that can be taken to tackle this problem.
