It must be noted that EIA is a way into its second decade in the country, hence, the work will assess how tourism industry has benefited thus far vis-à-vis other sectors in the country. Although tourism is a great user of the environment. Findings have shown that its level of EIA adherence is very low in the country, primarily because of some factors that borders on poor partnership between the agencies in charge of tourism and EIA respectively.

Chapter one discusses the preliminary issues in research, namely: the statement of problem, the research questions, the objectives, the methodology, the significance of the study and the limitations of the study.
