SECTION B
Question 3
- Outline five developmental benefits of tourism.
- Identify any five national parks in Nigeria and their locations.
The question was popular among the candidates, and their overall performance was above average. Although some candidates find it difficult to differentiate between economic benefits of tourism and developmental benefits of tourism, thereby giving economic benefits of tourism instead of developmental benefit of tourism. This mistake made them lose some marks. They were expected to respond to the question in the following manner:
- Developmental benefits of tourism
- Provision of markets/shopping mails
- Provision of water
- Construction of roads
- Provision of electricity
- Provision of communication facilities
- Building of schools
- Building of hospitals, health centres
- Construction of flyovers/bridges
- Preservation of nature
- Improve land use
- Building of tourist accommodation
- National parks in Nigeria and their locations
