Improvements to aging tomb infrastructure included replacement and upgrading of visitor walkways, protective barriers, lighting, ventilation, and signage.
A visitor carrying capacity was established and a visitation policy crafted to avoid overcrowding in the tomb, with the aim of improving the visitor experience without endangering the tomb.
Additional use policies included recommendations for supervision and control over commercial uses of the tomb including filming and photography, as there is potential for damage to the tomb during such activities.
