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.
1.2STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
Tourism and
transportation sectors have great concern over the increasing fall of state
affairs which has be on blamed on the following.
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.
