| Description |
This paper asserts the case for developing Nigeria’s tourism industry, with particular emphasis on the physical aspects, especially landscaping. Thus, the main objective of the study is to investigate the need for landscaping elements in the Nigerian tourist attractions. This was carried out through a critical review of literature on landscaping; as well as examining its importance to tourism development. Furthermore, the investigation was underpinned by an empirical investigation using the quantitative method of data collection through questionnaire survey on all stakeholders in the tourism industry in Nigeria. The data generated from the survey were analysed and results expressed in percentages and standard deviation. The findings revealed that landscaping has the potential to enhance tourism experience and contribute to human wellbeing. And brings to limelight the important role landscaping plays with the implication that if landscaping is not made to be at the centre of tourism policy, tourism is likely to fall short of expectation. The paper therefore strongly recommends that landscaping should be made a permanent feature of Nigerian tourism development.
