It is There is a lamentable fact that heritage properties and antique exhibitions in local museums only attracted travelers from hundreds of miles instead of natives within the walking distance. The essay aims to explore the underlying reasons and come up with effective solutions to this issue.

The reasons behind this phenomenon are multiple. First and the foremost, the locals are more familiar with their surroundings and believe the chances to visit local historical sites are plentiful ,so that they used to lose the motivation to visit those places immediately. On the contrary, farers come to a remote place with the aim to learn about different cultures and some specific history, which leads to their strong passion. Apart from this, indigenes have limited time such as weekends, which they would rather watch movies at home or go shopping than visit a local museum. Unlike local individuals, sightseers often prepare a long period time to go travelling.

It is high time that constructive measures should be taken to prevent the situation from getting worse. The first solution is that museums and historical sites could give a discount on entry tickets, if visitors can provide a local identity card. As a result, local people are more likely to pay a visit there. In addition, the local governments are supposed to take it as their responsibility to introduce their citizens to those interesting places. For example, the officials could make some videos related to the history stories behind the historical sites in order to stimulate the interests of natives.

In conclusion, although sightseers often have a stronger motivation to visit museums and historical sites, however, natives should learn from them with the help of effective measures from governments which I mentioned above.

As the entrance fee of museums and historical sites as well as related hospitality income account for/contribute to the most of local tourism revenue, governments tend to strengthen the sightseeing publicity to visitors. In that case, the museums and historical sites are likely to become overly commercialized and there will be less local visitors.
