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.
