Kebbi State, located in the northwestern region of Nigeria, is not traditionally known as a major tourist destination. However, the potential for boosting luxury tourism in the state has been identified through the development of private beach resorts. These resorts are strategically positioned around man-made or natural lakes, offering a unique destination for both domestic and international tourists seeking high-end recreational experiences. The emergence of private beach resorts has become a promising avenue to diversify Kebbi’s tourism offerings and attract luxury tourists, a segment that has been steadily growing across the globe (Adamu, 2024). In a region known for its agricultural industry, the development of these luxury resorts could serve as a catalyst for the local economy, driving job creation, infrastructure development, and increased revenue generation. Additionally, the integration of local cultural elements and eco-tourism practices into resort offerings enhances their appeal. However, little research has been conducted on the specific role that private beach resorts play in transforming Kebbi’s tourism landscape and their broader impact on regional development.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growth of private beach resorts in other Nigerian states, Kebbi State's tourism sector remains underdeveloped, with limited focus on luxury tourism. The lack of a detailed investigation into how private beach resorts contribute to luxury tourism has led to missed opportunities for sustainable development and revenue generation in the state (UNWTO, 2023). Furthermore, the potential challenges faced by private beach resorts in terms of infrastructure, security, and environmental concerns remain insufficiently addressed. Understanding the extent to which private beach resorts can influence tourism growth and economic development in Kebbi is crucial for stakeholders seeking to invest in or promote this niche market.
