TOURISM AGENCIES
Public Agencies in Tourism
Introduction : Nigeria as the most populous country in the whole
of Africa has an immense rich cultural heritage. Nigeria is
blessed with diverse culture with natural vegetation, good
weather condition, land mass and poitential tourist sites.
However in the past, Nigeria did not realize nor take tourism
as an important economic prospect as compared to some
developed nations of the world where tourism serves as
earner. Some of the reasons that could be advanced for this
scenario are:
1. The inability of past administrations to fully identify and
promote our cultural heritage. This, for example, witnessed
the rating of culture as second in the former Ministry of
Information, while tourism was in the former Ministry of
Trade and Tourism
2. Long period of military rule prevented the country from
entering into mutual cooperation with other country
countries. This type of relationship is very necessary for
effective promotion of culture and tourism
3. Poor paticipation of private players
Some of these Public Agencies are:
1. FEDERAL MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND TOURISM
The Federal Ministry of culture and Tourism came into being in
June 1999, following the harmonization of culture and
tourism as a ministry. It was carved out of Federal Ministry of
Information and Federal Ministry of commerce and Tourism.

ministry of culture was saddled with the overall promotion of
our nation’s immense and rich cultural heritage

a leverage for economic growth and development
The mission : The federal ministry of culture and tourism shall
