What countries have separate pricing fees for international tourists for country attractions?

Accepted answer

If you're on a budget, travel in your home region. This sort of "foreigners pay more" thing matters little in the overall budget for most trips. There are exceptions: Indonesia recently increased the charges rather massively for foreigners visiting national parks.

There are places all over the world with different prices depending on where you come from. Museums in all sorts of countries do it, including Singapore, Russia, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, and more. This is hardly surprising, since without such a scheme many local residents would be unable to afford their own country's attractions! Plus, locals may pay in the form of taxes (which partially fund many public museums), which you as a foreigner do not pay.

Most countries actually. In some places, especially in developing nations, merchants will bluntly quote inflated prices based on your appearance but even in places where prices are displayed publicly and ostensibly non-negotiable, there are many strategies to practice what economists call “price discrimination”: things like coupons, discount cards, weekdays discount, yearly “free entrance” days, etc.
