Department of Hospitality Management

ABSTRACT 
This work was intended to investigate the extent to which 
hospitality industry contributes to the economy in both potential 
and in real term. Sufficient data was collected, analyzed and 
tested using the Chi square statistical method out of the 80 
sampled stakeholders in the industry. The study found that the 
hospitality industry contributes veritably to economic development 
of Nigeria and reshaping of her national image in the diaspora. It 
was gathered from the study that a positive correlation exits 
between the hospitality industry and the GDP of the nation. From 
the findings the researcher recommends enhanced investment in 
the sector and provision of adequate infrastructure and enabling 
environment if the industry’s full potentials will be properly 
harnessed towards economic development of the nation.
