Abstract
This project is designed to study “Examining the prospects and
challenges of rural tourism development in Nigeria” (Case study of Bauchi
state). The tourism development has been centered in urban areas which need to
change in order to harness rural tourism, which are more natural and could
attract more visitors which was considered from the historical perspective. The
research was able to look at rural tourism as an instrument for tourism
development and the rural community as a multi – purpose resource. The concept
of agricultural and rural tourism was intensively related in terms of demand
and supply of rural tourism and the various activities and rural tourism
products in the area. Cottage industry for local crafts and entrepreneurship in
rural based technology, marketing planning and managing rural tourism was
briefly discussed. The research method adopted the careful enumeration type
such as the use of questionnaire, personal interview and secondary source.
Additionally, the research instrument and method of data analysis was clearly
expressed based on tabulation method and simple percentage. Results were drawn
and summary was made base on finding on the analysis, which reveals rural
tourism in Bauchi State is not really coming up, but deserved lack of serious
attention by the government and private sectors. Recommendation were finally
made base on the challenge and problems of the research.
