INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The hospitality industry, which is a major team player towards the economic growth of Nigeria as a nation and Africa as a continent has distinguished itself as a sector with the widest variety of hotel and tourism services.
There are many things in place in Nigeria now, which should encourage the growth of the hospitality business. These include:
1. The existence of opportunities by the democratic dispensation in the country, which influence the size and growth of both foreign and local business travelers.
2. Global expansion of international trade and also increase services of accommodation rendered by our local hotels.
3. Improvement of our tourist centers and zones.
4. Increase in Nigeria’s annual average growth rate of tourist arrivals.
5. Government favorable policy towards foreign investment.
An important feature of the hotel industry in Nigeria is that until the late seventies there was virtually absence of the well-known names in international hotel industry. From the late seventies however, some of these names began to make an appearance. Names like Sheraton Hotel, Hilton Hotel e.t.c.
Hotels are accessed for their standard of cleanliness and provision for visitors on a scale of one to five (1-5) stars. All aspect of hotel stay is accessed with emphasis on the standard of service, level of comfort and provision of equipment.
The assessment of accommodation gives you a clear indication of cleanliness, ambience, service, hospitality and accommodation standard of the hotel and the reassurance a guest needs to distinguish between the quality of the accommodation and the number of facilities on offer. Basically there are four types of hotels, namely:
1. COMMERCIAL HOTELS: It is also known as conference hotels, and is usually located in cities or suburban areas. They operate all year round.
2. RESORT HOTELS: Resort hotels are usually located primarily in vacation destinations near mountains and seashores. It offers luxurious surroundings with a variety of recreational facilities such as swimming pools, golf courses e.t.c. The business of resort hotels fluctuates with the season.

4. CASINO HOTELS: Casino hotels provide lodging in hotel facilities with a casino in the premises. They also provide gambling facilities.
