description This paper looks at Tourism as a Sector that can contribute substantially to the growth of Nigeria economy especially in this era where everyone is calling for diversification of the economy, resource control, restructuring and true federalism. It is of common knowledge that our dependence on oil as a country is no longer sustainable because of the fall in price of oil in the international market and the domestic problems of oil theft, pipeline vandalization and militancy of the youths in the oil communities. More importantly, oil is a wasting asset that is being depleted every day. It is therefore the thrust of this paper that if our tourism sector in Nigeria can be developed and well branded, Nigeria can make a lot of money from it, like Israel, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirate. The research method used in this paper is the doctrinal method of research.
