Background of the Study
Livestock and cattle ranch tourism is an emerging niche within agritourism that allows visitors to experience farm life, engage with livestock activities, and learn about agricultural practices. Plateau State, with its vast grazing lands and established cattle ranches such as the Jos Plateau Ranch, holds significant potential for livestock tourism. The state’s unique highland climate, picturesque landscapes, and cattle-rearing culture make it an attractive destination for tourists seeking authentic agricultural experiences.
Globally, cattle ranch tourism contributes to tourism growth by promoting sustainable farming, cultural heritage, and rural development. In Plateau State, the development of livestock tourism could boost tourism growth by attracting domestic and international visitors while providing opportunities for local communities. However, research on the influence of livestock tourism on tourism growth in Plateau State is limited, necessitating this study.

Challenges such as poor infrastructure, lack of marketing, and security concerns hinder the growth of livestock and cattle ranch tourism. Furthermore, the role of livestock tourism in driving overall tourism growth in Plateau State has not been adequately studied. This research aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the influence of livestock and cattle ranch tourism on tourism growth in Plateau State.
