Making tourist attractions environmentally friendly not only benefits the environment
but also saves money through recycling. Avoiding, reducing, reusing and recycling can
lower costs. It also ensures foreigners who are used to living in clean environments
make a second visit to the country, which means huge upsides to potential future
customers and exposure in untapped horizons. Moreover, it also stresses local
ownership, as well as business opportunities for locals.
Reducing the environmental impact of most businesses will improve the overall long-
term sustainability. This is because, being less dependent on non-renewable resources
than other competitors will give the state and country the upper hand and also the
advantage in having ways to deal with rising costs due to climate change.
GUIDELINES/SUGGESTIONS FOR TOURISM AGENCIES
Along the coastline, there are noticeable improvements in the establishment of tourism
businesses such as hotels, restaurants, bars, guest houses and bread and breakfasts.
The tourism businesses are available to give maximum refreshment and relaxation to
potential tourists who visit the beaches.
In conclusion, it is believed that any economy can achieve their goals with the proper
planning and decision makers involved, who possess the necessary foresight and
intuition regarding long term objectives and reaching and surpassing them. The
government of Nigeria can only progress and ensure a better environment for future
generations only if they are able to abandon those fixed, corrupt and inflexible
structures on which they rely on so much and adopt a fresh and broader perspective
on climate change, renewable energy and sustainable tourism.
