1.0INTRODUCTION
According to Iwena (2000) in his book Essential
Geography” describe Tourism as the phenomena, which involve the visiting of
people to places of interest where they can relax, derive pleasure and
entertainment.
Tourism is a basic means of attracting visitors to
appreciate the material and human potentials that abound in such a place and
this is further enhanced via transportation if properly harnesses can be
utilised for the development and progress of a place.
Tourism may be seen to consist of a sense of
encounters in which visitor interact with the host. Thus, it simply defines as
the movement of people from their origin to places of destination for
recreational purposes. The main point to be noted from the brief description
above is that it is concerned with how man travels from one place to another
for leisure recreational purposes.
According to Ogunlade (2004) states that tourism is
God’s own given gift to man in the sense that any tourist attraction centre is
beautiful, thrilling and marvellous sight to behold which leave you thinking of
how great God is to Mankind.
According to Ogunlade (2005) states that the journey
of Nigeria Tourism began September 25th 1962 when the Government took its first
moved by establishing the Nigeria Tourism Association ( NTA).
The NTA a government body primarily charged with the
responsibility of developing and promoting tourism in Nigeria. Mean while a
decree 54 of 1976 was promulgated due to the fact that NTA could not meet the
expected challenges. Therefore the Nigeria Tourism Board (NTB) was established
which further led to the establishment of the Nigeria Tourism Development
corporation (NTDC) which is the government parastals and at present as a
co-ordinating body in Nigeria.
According to Ogunlade (2005), In July 1990 a new
tourism policy was launched by the Federal Government which further explained
the reason why both the public and private sectors should get involve in the
tourism industry. Among these public and private sectors and other bodies that
were established value this policy was the Directorate of food, Road and Rural
Infrastructure (DFRRI) and the mass transits system to see how the rural areas
that harbour most of our tourist product and potential can be made accessible
to facilitate intrastate and interstate travels.

Tourism in Nigeria has suffered a lot of set
back during the last few years due to a lot of factors such as frequent ethnic
and religions clashes and hostage taking for example in oil producing areas,
which have tampered with the security system of the nation.
Furthermore, available roads to most of our
attractions are not motorable, lack of electricity and potable accommodation is
a luxury in most of our resorts while most of them are still without
communication facilities despite the advent of Global system mobile
communication in the country lack of awareness programme to encourage people to
visit places. Thus, inadequate funds for rehabitation of facilities.
