Background of the Study
Tourism policies are vital tools for guiding the development and sustainability of the tourism sector in any region. In Nigeria, tourism is seen as an important contributor to economic growth, job creation, and cultural exchange. Kwara State, located in the north-central region of Nigeria, is known for its cultural heritage, historical sites, and natural resources, which have the potential to attract tourists. However, despite these assets, tourism in Kwara State has not been fully optimized due to various challenges, including the lack of effective policy implementation, inadequate infrastructure, and limited funding.
Effective tourism policies can promote sustainable development, attract investment, and enhance the overall tourism experience for visitors. However, the successful implementation of these policies often encounters several barriers, such as political instability, insufficient collaboration among stakeholders, and a lack of awareness and capacity within local authorities. This study seeks to investigate the challenges faced in implementing tourism policies in Kwara State and identify potential solutions to overcome these obstacles.

Despite the presence of a tourism master plan, the state has struggled with implementing effective tourism policies that can enhance infrastructure, promote local attractions, and increase tourist arrivals.

This study will examine these challenges and provide recommendations for overcoming them to strengthen tourism development in Kwara State.
