The Enugu State has failed in
relation to tourism since it is not even included in tourist states in Nigeria.
This means that it is not recognized due to lack of tourist sites that can
really attract Western tourists. The state still work to do when it comes to
reach the level of national and also international tourist center.
The obstacle that bothers most
tourism development is the poor attitude of government, agencies of tourism,
business men in the state, lacks of transportation, and inaccessibility some
attractions because of transportation. The Enugu State has not even the
airport. The state as most states in southern Nigeria is noted for armed
robbery. The security forces are generally known to extort money House nearby
drivers on main roads.
We find that there is a lack of infrastructure
in Enugu region and it does not motivate tourists there visit even if there are
adequate sites prevent government to attract tourism, the state is often very
rigid and it does not encourage the private sector and the public to
participate actively in this area. There are also no initiatives from the
government to encourage people who are attractive to tourism but the government
of the federal government doing more attention to sectors other than tourism.
Motivations as infrastructures are
not available. Employees in this sector are not working hard and when they
vandalize equipments and computers working or they sell. Another problem facing
the sector is that of insecurity. Nigeria is known to come from a country in
the world where dishonesty reigns.
For this, they are afraid to come
here because of poor reception. The insecurity in Nigeria is also seen in the
news is everywhere now in Nigeria. It should also be noted that the means of
communication are lacking in some sites, most parts of Enugu do not have
adequate means of communication especially in rural areas and some urban areas.
Sometimes, political instability causes the drop in tourism. Therefore, we must
make efforts to upgrade this sector.
