dc.description.abstractThis paper examined the effects of ethno-religious crisis and insecurity on tourism growth and development, something hardly researched on thus far. The study was specifically carried out in Jos Metropolis, capital of Plateau State, Nigeria. Both quantitative and qualitative research designs were used, involving 225 respondents. The paper explored available tourism resources and facilities; people’s experience with ethno-religious crises; tourism situation before, during, and after the crises; and consequences of the crises on tourism growth and development. The results showed a significant drop in tourists’ patronage in Jos, loss of skilled labour, and destruction of recreational amenities. A high rate of unemployment, low economic returns, and a lack of interpersonal relationships due to mistrust among the populace were equally noted. This study thus calls for adoption of proactive steps for reducing, if not getting rid of, the crises for growing tourism and hospitality as a vital service sector to achieving sustainable livelihoods and economic growth in Jos Metropolis, Plateau State, and the country of Nigeria, itself.
