Rural tourism as a factor of sustainable development: a case study of Sukur World Heritage Site in Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria

Rural tourism can serve as a significant driver for sustainable development, particularly in regions with rich cultural landscapes. A case study of the Sukur Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria, demonstrates this potential. The research highlights that community participation and environmental protection are central to leveraging tourism for sustainable growth. It outlines strategies for developing the site while mitigating risks associated with such endeavors. These strategies aim to balance economic benefits with conservation efforts, ensuring long-term sustainability.
