dc.description.abstractTourism is a phenomenon that engineers growth and development of any community or nation through promotion of traditional values, arts, crafts and resource centres. It embraces activities that are of broad appeal for the population. It provides the outlets to appreciate the diversities as well as the complexities of cultures and industries, in addition creating a magnificent uniqueness which adventurers and mountaineers would cherish worldwide. However, tourism is said to be a major economic activity worldwide, available statistics show that it employs about 6% of the world’s labour force, and this figure is increasing daily with growth in population, and the discovery of new attractions. Nigeria, unlike most nations has not tapped in to the vast and abundant attractions that abound in the Country. Tourism in Nigeria is like our precious coal, the hidden treasures which when lit, shines like rosebuds. If Nigeria is to partake in this present global tourist trend, then there is need to develop and improve facilities and infrastructure in the country. This thesis will elaborate on the potentials of tourism in Kaduna State and making provision for the development of a tourist resort in Kagoro. A tourist resort is essentially developed for the sojourn of tourists, providing multiple facilities for their recreation, accommodation, leisure and other needs. The development of a resort in most cases involves altering the natural and cultural environmental settings which tourist comes to see and enjoy. The thrust of this work is to proffer design solutions that will not be foreign to the host environment. It would also be a design that is subservient to the local environment. In line with this, the design emphasizes on the use of the cultural landscape as a means of enhancing the natural and cultural environments and also the minimization of developmental impacts on the environment.en_US
