Nigeria is in economic recession, and the diversification of the economy from oil is inevitable. The culture and tourism sector has a lot of value to revamp the economy. Through analytical approach, this paper focuses on the potentials of this hitherto neglected money spinning sector, the challenges it faces, and how it can bail Nigeria out of her economic doldrums. This study revealed that Culture and Tourism has shown extraordinary strength and resilience in recent years, and continues to grow strongly and contribute to job creation and the wellbeing of communities around the world; it concludes that, if properly placed, culture and tourism would become one of the major and critical economic platforms to create more jobs and stem the tide of unemployment. It recommends, among others, that there should be drive for private-sector investment through further liberalization, and empowerment of local communities to participate in the tourism value chain, as well as establish cross-border cooperation with other destinations; that Stakeholders should harness the contributions of culture and tourism to economic growth, social inclusion, cultural and environmental preservation and mutual understanding, and that Government and the private sector should fund research projects on culture and tourism in Nigerian institutions of higher learning.

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in tourism sector is gaining grounds across the globe. VR is an efficient persuasive marketing promotion tool for tourism stakeholders but its use in developing nations has raised some concerns especially in a 'growing-tourism' nation like Nigeria. Can VR replace the alluring, scenic and captivating tourist sites in Nigeria? What are the factors in favor and against the use of VR in Nigeria tourism sector? Possible answers to these questions necessitated this study. Secondary data were the principal means of data generation and the results were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that a developing nation like Nigeria's adoption of VR into its tourism sector comes with gains and losses respectively. Tourism planning and promotion, preservative and conservative values, insecurity challenges and the tainted image of Nigeria favor the use of VR in the sector but economic losses via reduction in dwindling-poor-tourists traffic, decline in...

Pakistan has a population of over 219 million people, with the majority of the population earning less than $10 daily. Pakistan as some other attractive Eu nation, has large tourism sector since it offers not only natural beauty but also cultural richness. Tourism is, in reality, The most earning and enterprising industry is favorable for those who lived in mountainous areas, because it introduces new jobs & eliminates unemployment. However, the number of visitors that visit Pakistan decline from year to year. As a result, the main goal of my thesis to identify the good and negative elements impacting Pakistan's tourist business, to compare our tourist industry's performance to that of other possible neighboring nations in order to see where Pakistan stands in terms of competition and what its needs, to determine the role of the government in improving this industry, and to determine the role of the government in improving this industry. When I was in Pakistan in 2019, I acquired primary data from domestic and foreign visitors’ data from tourism companies, as well as interviews and surveys conducted both inside and outside the nation. During my 2019 visit to PTDC and the ministry of tourism, I obtained secondary data. Limited information sharing was one of the research difficulties observed during data collecting owing to the Ptdc and ministry of tourism record not being updated appropriately. Other hand, due to the 2020 world covid-19, there are several limitations to this scenario because no one can travel due to the epidemic. Therefore, online surveys were used with the help of social media groups and online surveys. The most essential component or usefulness of this research is that it has analyzed practically all of the major aspects impacting on tourism sector in terms of possible visitors, and then produced many recommendations that have contributed to the industry's present deterioration. Estimated results have reprimanded the fact that Poor access, development, weakness, margins, vii and the country's chronic social and political challenges have all been identified as factors that have lowered the number of tourists visiting Pakistan. Secondly, Pakistan's government has failed implement policies, strategies and plans that may have boosted the tourist business. The collected data shows that Pakistan's tourist business changes dramatically between years, The reason for the drop from 2005 to 2016 being connected to the country's political and socio-economic challenges, as well as a shortage of active engagement by tourism officials. Local and foreign visitors like the Pakistan's natural beauty, culture, and cuisine, and 80 percent of them wish to travel across the country. Due to insurgency and a lack of infrastructure, travel rates have declined. However, from 2017 to 2019, Pakistan's new administration took fast action, and the country's tourist industry flourished. However, we are back behind our neighbors in the tourist business, such as China and India, where the tourism industry is becoming increasingly powerful every year. My recommendations for the industry's growth are for governments to take tourism seriously and invest in tourism infrastructure, as well as to quickly resolve the country's insurgency and enhance strong relation with the rest of the globe. Establish convey, and promote a favorable image of Pakistan through the media and other means in order to boost the status and quality of Pakistan's tourist business on a worldwide scale.
