There urge in man to discover the unknown, to explore new and peculiar places, to find a change in the environment and to have new experiences are some of the basic reasons why people move from their location to other places Robinson, (1976). The intrinsic connection that exists between man and nature is indeed one that cannot be overemphasized. Man’s inquisitive nature leads him to explore and unravel such mysteries that nature holds in her coffers, which keeps him bound to its beauty and be stores on him a sense of awe and sensation whenever he is within the natural environment.

Our natural environment, with some of these peculiar features of nature can be developed to be explored through tourism, which is now a fast growing sector in different nations today. Initially, tourist centres, as well as places with high tourism potentials were mostly neglected, but have become a major focus point of most economy because of its advantages as it improves the economy, provides means for relaxation, brings humans to a close interaction with the natural environment, it creates and open ways for development of places.

 An average human have a natural desire to relax and relieve himself from the stress that life has imposed upon him due to his daily activities, especially in this so-called golden age where our world today finds itself, which is responsible for the various depressions of the society. Hence he looks forward to a place where he finds comfort in nature, an environment where he is able to live his normal life and still have a feel of or be in contact with the natural environment.

Nigeria is one of the richly blessed nations in the world, especially in Africa, with high tourism potentials existing in most areas within the country, giving its diverse natural features and land forms ranging from beautiful waterfalls, rivers, natural lakes and streams to beautiful massive rocks and stones, pure vegetation, stunning land forms and topography, and a lot monuments that reflects the cultural values of the people and also tells of the ancient origin and history of different cultures, traditions, places and activities. These features are in a way scares in many other regions in the world, and hence, serve as an advantage as it serves as opportunity to generate income, encourage even development, promote tourism based rural enterprises, generate employment and accelerate rural urban integration and cultural exchange. Tourism have a large impact on bio-physical environment, and most of Nigeria’s natural landscapes and features are eco-sensitive areas and exploring them as tourist destinations would be of great advantage.

The world today is involved with a lot of activities in which our nature is being tampered with and re-modified to a great extent that disrupts the beauty and comfort of the natural environment. It is indeed necessary to explore and harness the natural environment within us, and one of the means in which this can be achieved is through tourism. Tsui (1999) stated that the assets of nature can and ought to be an integral aspect ofarchitecture, and that within the beauty of nature is an intelligence that is eternal. Furthermore, Olgyay (1981) postulated that the desirable procedure in design would be to work with the forces of nature and not against them, and to exploit their potentialities to create better conditions of life
