The book examines the interconnection of Law, Tourism, and Hospitality in boosting a more buoyant economy. In doing so, it raises pertinent questions such as how the legal environment impacts on the tourism and hospitality sector; how tourism can be boosted with a more robust legal setting that clears the sometimes-conflicting relationship between the federal and state government; and how Nigeria can harness her tourism potentials for the benefits of the communities and the nation. This is a book that is focused, practical and inspiring, a welcome addition to the reading shelf of committed actors in the Tourism, Hospitality and legal circles. It is an eye-opener for the general reader on how invasive Tourism and Hospitality have come to represent in our daily lives.
