UK drops plan to charge foreign visitors for museums
Original: UK decides against charging foreigners for museums
The UK government has abandoned a proposal to charge foreign visitors for entry to national museums. Announced in March as a way to boost funding, the idea was dropped by the culture ministry after months of consultation, which concluded the charge could also deter domestic visitors and harm attendance.
Why now: A government policy reversal on museum funding is drawing attention to tourism costs and cultural access.
