This document assesses the developmental challenges facing tourism in Oyo community, Oyo State, Nigeria. It identifies tourism resources in the community, determines challenges, and documents stakeholder contributions. The study revealed that Oyo has many undeveloped tourism resources due to lack of awareness, funding, stakeholders, government support, education, and experts. These problems can be addressed through better awareness, stakeholder and government involvement, funding, expertise, education, and infrastructure improvements. Key recommendations include incorporating an annual regatta festival, creating effective awareness, collaboration through funding, improved transportation, and incorporating local community in tourism policy.

Data Mining-based Real-Time User-centric Recommender System for Nigerian Tour...IJEACS
The tourism information system in Nigeria is not novel. What is novel is the need to develop reliable real-time recommender systems that can adequately aid tourists in their decisions. Several researchers have proposed various models. However, there are still issues about the applicability, effectiveness, efficiency, and reliability of the existing recommenders in the Nigerian tourism sector. This work is aimed at developing an improved model for real-time tourism recommender in Nigeria based on a data mining model. The objectives include the development of a data mining model for real-time reliable user-centric tourism recommendation and evaluation of the recommender system. To achieve these, a supervised machine learning-based classifier is modelled. The classifier system is evaluated using four thousand (4,000) datasets acquired from online and physical Nigerian tourism sources. Nine machine learning algorithms are compared during the testing process based on accuracy and other standard performance metrics. Experimental results show that the PART algorithm outperforms all other algorithms with an accuracy of 91.65%, F-Measure of 0.917, true positive rate of 0.913, the false-positive rate of 0.029, and the precision of 0.917, and recall of 0.917. In terms of efficiency, it also records the least time-to-model of 0.02 seconds. The rules generated from this algorithm are incorporated into the design of a prototype to test the recommender. The usefulness and efficiency scores based on test cases involving 20 participants prove that the recommender system would be a veritable tool for tourism in Nigeria.

Tourism Resource Potential in Chitrakoot Region A SWOT Analysisijtsrd
Chitrakoot is one of the major tourists' destinations of India not only for Religious Tourism Hinduism since ancient era but also having enough of other tourism potential such as wild life tourism, adventure tourism, wine tourism and Natural tourism. The main purpose of the study is to find out those potentials which are unexplored at the Chitrakoot region of Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The type of research is descriptive and exploratory. The study is qualitative in nature. Data was collected through primary and secondary sources. For primary data, open ended questionnaire and opinion method were used. The researcher has done SWOT analysis of the Chitrakoot region in respect to tourism potential. The findings of the study reflected that various tourism potentials existed in the Chitrakoot region. Some suggestion and recommendations have been provided at the end of the study.
