Tourism is the activities of people traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for leisure, business and other purpose not related to an activity to be paid for within the place visited. Place(s) visited could be domestic or international but stay should not be for more than a year. Countries the world over are reaping the benefits of tourism however bringing this definition to the Nigerian context, a country blessed with a plethora of tourist attractions but still Nigerians tend to travel mostly overseas and have contributed to tourism revenue of many Countries leaving the sector untapped in the country. Question is why do Nigerians tend to believe travel/vacation should be international and what are those that run the attractions doing.?

ReplyDeleteLet's talk travel guys.
People tend to believe travelling outside the country is more then travelling outside nigeria. Well I think everything comes down to understanding.
ReplyDeleteHow can u tour the world when you don't even know your own country. So many factors complicate things. Pls don't get me wrong guy, I prefer to see more of Nigeria first before I see outside. Cont soon.
Dubai as a city in the UAE has done well as regards tourism but we are talking about Nigeria here. Do Nigerians even know where these attractions are? If they do are they accessible, affordable and do they have the facilities?
