Nope, they don't have to at all. The only place they have to go (but only if they are able to, like financially or healthwise etc.) at least once in their lifetime is Mecca on Hajj trip since Hajj is the 5th and last pillar of Islam.

Yet, people are encouraged to visit the three places: Makkah, Medina and Jerusalem due to their value in Islam and the multiplication of virtues by doing so.

One Raka'a "prayer" in Makkah = 100,000 prayers elsewhere.

One Raka'a "prayer" in Medina = 1000 prayers elsewhere.

One Raka'a "prayer" in Jerusalem = 500 prayers elsewhere.

What were the crusades and what effect did they have?

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval Engalnd against the Muslims of the Middle East. In 1076, the Muslims had captured Jerusalem - the most holy of holy places for Christians. Jesus had been born in nearby Bethlehem and Jesus had spent most of his life in Jerusalem. He was crucified on Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem. There was no more important place on Earth than Jerusalem for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the "City of God".However, Jerusalem was also extremely important for the Muslims as Muhammad, the founder of the Muslim faith, had been there and there was great joy in the Muslim world when Jerusalem was captured. A beautiful dome - called the Dome of the Rock - was built on the rock where Muhammad was said to have sat and prayed and it was so holy that no Muslim was allowed to tread on the rock or touch it when visiting the Dome.Therefore the Christian fought to get Jerusalem back while the Muslims fought to keep Jerusalem. These wars were to last nearly 200 years

Why are Muslim sites important?

there are some hadith from Imam Sadiq a.s. saying who visit us after our death is same as who visit us in our life. Shia Muslims and Wahhabis have conflict in this matter and wahhabis consider visiting graves as shirk (polytheism) but please note shia Muslims do not worship the grave itself as an idol. Shia Muslims believe the soul of dead saints see and hear us and can ask God to solve our problems. Shia use Tawassul at Muslim sites.
