Abstract
Tourism is a veritable industry a country requires for its national development. It involves
the travel of tourists away from their homes for purposes of sightseeing in a different
environment, and in most cases involves sleeping away from home. In Zungeru town of
Wushishi Local Government Area of Niger State, there are varied physical and human
potentials which can be harnessed for veritable tourism development. Such potentials
include water resources; conducive environment; conducive and friendly natural landscape;
fertile agricultural arable soil; fairly motor able road net - work; nodal railway net - work
and a potential river port development. Investigations showed that despite these viable
potentials that exist, tourism development in the area still at abysmal level. There is the
need to tap the natural and man-made tourism resources available in the area, and hence
professional recommendations were offered for the proper and full utilization of the
resources for the overall land sustainable development of Niger state and Nigeria in
general.
