“…It is sufficient to say that not much progress has been made in terms of popularizing the tourist industry and increasing foreign exchange revenues, despite the government's frequently expressed commitment to expanding tourism and the sector's strong economic potential. This may be explained by the convoluted process that occurs from the announcement of policies to the realization of their financial advantages (Oladumiye et al, 2013). Cultural heritage is the tangible and intangible assets that have been passed down from previous generations to a group or society, preserved in the present, and donated for the benefit of future generations.…”

This study investigates the responsibilities that museums play in conserving art and culture. It argues that museums should be responsible for making historic values accessible and understandable to all visitors, rather than depending simply on traditional item displays. Museums provide opportunities for global travelers to learn about different perspectives on the importance of history and how to preserve their heritage. The method used in this research is qualitative. Research was carried out by compiling and analyzing existing studies. The obstacles to the preservation of art and culture, and how can research help museums use their physical, intentional forms to produce visitor experiences that are meaningful, active, ethical, and continuous, as well as a visible representation of tourism in Nigeria served as the focal points of this paper’s research. The findings support the dual functions of museums, preserving our artistic heritage and acting as a significant source of revenue to support the travel and tourist industry. In addition to significantly increasing global income, tourism is now a key factor in the expansion of economies across the world. The primary rationale behind the growth of tourism in many nations worldwide is often its capacity to have a favorable economic impact through the lens of modern heritage values and ethics. The findings of this research reflect the intricate ways by which tourism and culture are tightly correlated.

“…As already explained Nigeria can decide to get more proactive and change her philosophy about running a mono-oil economy and invest into developing her tourism industry, especially on cultural tourism where she has considerable potential for generating economic growth and improving the living standard of her citizens. As Oladumiye, Bolajoko and Tolulope (2013) noted, the country has a long history of cultural development and cultural exploits, evidence of which can be seen in many museums in the country. Therefore, cultural tourism would be a viable strategy for harnessing the country's cultural assets and contribute to national pride and development.…”

The philosophy of cultural tourism rests on the premise that an understanding of past cultural activities informs the way of life of the present people, which offers intriguing attractions that tourists want to witness and participate in. This understanding has propelled man to travel to various parts of the world from the time of the Roman Empire; to gain insights into other people's cultures with the view to enhancing development. In Nigeria, the impacts of philosophy and cultural tourism on national development have not been well discussed in development studies. Thus, there is a need to address the following questions: Are there cultural activities that could act as pull factors for developing cultural tourism? Why would tourists want to come to Nigeria? How would such visit contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 in Nigeria? In expanding this knowledge, a documentary approach based on a review of the literature was adopted. The authors seek to examine the philosophy behind cultural tourism.The authors attempt to analyse the SDGs as they affect cultural exchange, quality living, awareness creation about responsible consumption, education and personal fulfilment. The findings will help to synthesize the logic behind the propelling forces to visit a destination to witness or participate in cultural activities. The paper argues that understanding the philosophy of cultural tourism will go a long way to ensuring sustainable development in Nigeria.
