BOOK TITLE: SIMPLIFIED TOURISM FOR SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The book “Simplified Tourism for Senior Secondary Schools” has been written at a very appropriate time to serve as an indispensable study material intended to satisfy the desire of students of Tourism in the Senior Secondary School level, preparing for the Senior School Certificate Examination conducted by both the West African Examinations Council and the National Examinations Council.
The contents of the text have been carefully prepared in line with the requirements of both the WAEC and NECO SSCE Curriculum on Tourism, to guarantee outstanding performance of students in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations.

The efforts of the author of “Simplified Tourism for Senior Secondary Schools” deserves to be highly commended for several reasons.
One of such reasons is that tourism is a relatively new subject introduced into the secondary school curriculum in Nigeria and there is scarcity of good study materials to meet the needs of learners in the academic discipline.
Secondly, the problem of unemployment has informed the training of secondary school students on acquisition of skills to encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment. The authoring of this book is a very important step in that direction especially in the aspect of tourism as a trade subject.
Thirdly, it appears as if it has dawned on the Nigerian state to systematically ensure a paradigm shift from total dependence on crude to other arrears for efficient and effective generation of national income. Tourism has become essential and indispensable sector in the diversification drive.
Fourthly, the book has been succinctly written to arouse learners’ interest in tourism and ensure easy comprehension of contents.
I do not therefore hesitate to recommend the text to learners of tourism as a subject in particular, actors in the tourism industry and to the general public at large. Contact: meetudoh@gmail.com, 08124500464. to get copies of this book.
