Abstract
The importance of tourism as a major tool for a country's socio-economic development cannot be overstated. Although many centers and attractions in a country like Nigeria have not been developed to realize the goal of tourism development, the means to avoid this is to devote maximum effort to the growth of the tourism sector. This paper investigates the Azumini Blue River and its potential for eco-tourism development. The paper also evaluates the potential effects of the activities at the river on the host community and determines measures to ensure the continued preservation of the river. Data were gathered using qualitative research method and secondary sources from libraries and the internet. The findings revealed that the Blue River has a lot of potentials but also, the collaboration of stakeholders is imperative for the potentials to be fully enjoyed. This paper argued that the Azumini Blue River deserves to be properly cared for, with working policies guiding its development.
