Nigerian Tourism Industry: a Key Value Driver in Employment Generation
Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Sports www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper) 2312-5187 ISSN (Online) 2312-5179 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.36, 2018 Nigerian Tourism Industry: A Key Value Driver in Employment Generation Ibrahim Orekoya Department of Business Administration, University of Lagos, Nigeria Abstract The objective of this paper is to examine the role of the Nigerian tourism industry as a key value driver in employment generation. Some of the key areas the paper explores include: the Nigerian tourism industry, tourism destinations, influences on tourism development, sustainable tourism, challenges of the Nigerian tourism industry and the prospects for employment generation. The author observed that tourism should promote safe and friendly travel. Keywords: Nigerian tourism industry, tourism destinations, sustainable tourism, tourism development 1. Introduction Every tourist is different. Every tourist feels attracted by different tourist destinations, likes to engage in different activities while on vacation, makes use of different entertainment facilities and complains about different aspects of their vacation (Dolnicar, 2008). Tourism over the years has proven to be a strong resilient economic activity and a fundamental contributor to economic growth of nations by generating billions of dollars in exports and creating millions of jobs (Yusuff and Akinde, 2015). Tourism helps to balance regional equalities and has been an integral part of developmental policy and economic strategy in many countries (Sharpley, 1999). To bolster economic development, tourism make a major contribution to the income of the destination areas, creates employment opportunities, supports diverse range of industries, helps to diverse local economies and support existing infrastructure and help fund the development of new infrastructure (Shone, 2008). -

Inbound Tourism and Social Factors in Nigeria: Evidence from an Ardl-Ecm Model
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Asian Online Journal Publishing Group (AOJPG) Asian Journal of Economics and Empirical Research ISSN: 2409-2622 Vol. 1, No. 2, 40-47, 2014 http://asianonlinejournals.com/index.php/AJEER Inbound Tourism and Social Factors in Nigeria: Evidence from an Ardl-Ecm Model Emmanuel Okokondem Okon 1Department of Economics, Kogi State University, Anyiba, Kogi State, Nigeria Abstract This paper investigated the relationship between social factors and inbound tourism in Nigeria between 1990 and 2012. Phillip Perron unit root test revealed stationarity of the variables at their first difference while the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration also established the long run relationship among the variables. In the short run, LOG(ILL), LOG(CRM(- 1))and DLOG(MPR(-1)) exhibited negatively significant relationship with inbound tourism in Nigeria while LOG(URB(-1)) has a positively significant relationship. The long run result indicates that LOG(URB) is positively related with tourism demand (LOG(TAR)). On the other hand, LOG(MPR) shows an inversely significant relationship with LOG(TAR). Nigerian government should still do more in the area of awareness of malaria prevention and compliance. Also, more commitment should be made in fighting illiteracy especially at the rural level.

The English Language and Tourism in Nigeria *
Joumal of the School Of General and BaSic Studies THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND TOURISM IN NIGERIA * Ngozi Anyachonkeya ABSTRACT Thispaper examines the role of English as a dynamic language in tapping and documenting the potentials and bounties of tourism in Nigeria. It argues that the English language is a potent instrument in harnessing tourism bounties of a people especially among the fifty-four member nations of the Commonwealth. In Nigeria the English language remains the most strategic language for the exploitation and marketing of tourism bounties available in the country. This is so because English is Nigeria's official language and language of unity in a multiethnic country like ours. In doing this, the paper makes a disclaimer. It is thefact that the author of thispaper is not an authority on Tourism. The burden of this paper therefore is to lay bare the indispensable role of English - a global dynamic language and language of globalization - in the i •• exploitation of tourism wealth of Nigeria, and in selling these bounties to world civilization for document. In the final analysis the paper makes the following declarations. We could practically do nothing without language. It is rather impossible that we could successfully discuss Tourism as an academic discipline in Nigeria in isolation of language, vis-a-vis, English, the arrowhead and 'DNA' of culture. In the same vein, it is rather a tragic mission to explore the bounties of Tourism in Nigeria and make same available to the global village outside the English language medium, in view of Nigeria's status as among the fifty-four member nations of the Commonwealth. -
(Ict): a Veritable Tool for Tourism Development in Nigeria
Information Technology for People-Centred Development (ITePED 2011) INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT): A VERITABLE TOOL FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA S.E. Ogbu1, S. Idris2 and A.B. Ijagbemi3. 1,2,3Federal College of Wildlife Management P.M.B. 268, New Bussa, Niger State. ABSTACT It is fact that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has reshaped our everyday lives and the society in general. It has turned the world to a global village where an individual can access what is happening in the other parts of the world at a glance. It is in light of this that efforts were made to discuss the importance of ICT in the development of tourism in Nigeria. This work has demonstrated various ways by which ICTs have been adapted for the course in tourism. The benefits inherent in this technology are immense. It was revealed that almost every tourism products can be sold online without the consumer necessarily visiting the place before making any choice since tourism products are not already manufactured goods. Booking of flights and hotel reservations can be done online through e-mail, telephone calls and other internet services thereby helping to reduce if not remove entirely the time wasting processes of the old system. It is therefore obvious that its adoption is necessary for proper inclusion in these benefits and for sustainable tourism. Key words: Communication, Development, Information, Technology, Tourism 1.0 INTRODUCTION business and other purposes (Deighton, Information communication techno- 1996). Tourism is rapidly growing into one logy (ICTS) means the use of computer of the largest industries in the world. -
Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
