Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Photography has become an essential tool in promoting tourism by visually capturing and showcasing the unique attractions, culture, and natural beauty of destinations. In Wase Local Government Area, Plateau State, photography plays a pivotal role in highlighting the area's rich cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and historical landmarks. Visual storytelling through photography not only attracts tourists but also fosters local pride and cultural preservation. Studies by Ahmed and Bello (2023) emphasize the power of photography in creating compelling narratives that drive tourism growth by influencing travelers' perceptions and decisions. However, despite the potential of photography to enhance tourism in Wase, its utilization remains limited due to challenges such as inadequate marketing strategies, lack of professional photographers, and insufficient digital platforms for sharing images. This study explores the impact of photography on tourism promotion in Wase, examining its contributions, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Although photography has the potential to transform tourism promotion, its impact in Wase Local Government Area is hindered by limited resources, lack of skilled photographers, and insufficient integration into tourism marketing strategies. These challenges have resulted in the underrepresentation of Wase's attractions on local and international platforms, reducing its visibility and appeal to tourists. While studies have highlighted the role of visual media in tourism promotion, there is limited research on the specific impact of photography in Wase (Musa & Yusuf, 2024). This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the role of photography in tourism promotion in Wase.
