Interior design in hospitality industry is the style of decoration used in room. It is the frame work through which the prospective guests view the hospitality industry which include residential, establishment restaurants, fast foods, outlets and hotels. In any residential establishment, the basic requirements for guest are food, drink and accommodation. The statement “that first impression last longer” is very true as the guest from his/her impression on entering decides if he/she will come back again. On arrival the guest enter the front office and gain the impression of the establishment from what can be seen mainly from the setups of the establishment, the decorations the interior decorations and as the guest move on his/her room has more time to explore the surroundings more closely. Also the guest takes a close look at the decorations finishing and decides if it is likely to meet with the requirements and provide satisfaction. In the past, it was true that the room of a hotel should as far as possible give appearance of home away from home. But it is now realized that the guest who wants to feel at home expects so much difference in the way of decoration.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Marketing management is the organizational discipline which focuses on the practical application of marketing orientation, techniques and methods inside enterprises and organizations and on the management of a firms marketing resources and activities. Globalization has led some firms to market beyond the borders of their home countries, making international marketing a part of those firms marketing strategy. Marketing managers are often responsible for influencing the level, timing, and composition of customer demand. In part, this is because the role of a marketing manager or sometimes called managing marketer in small and medium sized enterprises can vary significantly based on a businesss size, corporate culture, and industry context. For example, in small and medium sized enterprises, the managing marketer may contribute in both managerial and marketing operations roles for the company brands. In a large consumer products company, the marketing manager may act as the over all general manager of his or her assigned product. To create an effective, cost efficient marketing management strategy, firms must possess a detailed, objective understanding of their own business and the market in which they operate. In analysing these issues, the discipline of marketing management often overlaps with the related discipline of strategic planning. Marketing management employs various tools from economics and competitive strategy to analyse the industry context in which the firm operates. These include Porters five forces, analysis of strategic group sof competitors, value chain analysis and others. Depending on the industry, the regulatory context may also be important to examine in detail. In competitor analysis, marketers build detailed profiles of each competitor in the market, focusing especially on their relative competitive strengths and weaknesses using SWOT analysis. Marketing managers will examine each competitors cost structure, sources of profits, resources and competencies, competitive positioning and product differentiation, degree of vertical integration, historical responses to industry developments, and other factors. Marketing management often finds it necessary to invest in research to collect the data required to perform accurate marketing analysis. As such, they often conduct market research and marketing research to obtain this information. Marketers employ a variety of techniques to conduct market research, but some of the more common include: Qualitative marketing research, such as focus groups and various types of interviews Quantitative marketing research, such as statistical surveys Experimental techniques such as test markets Observational techniques such as ethnographic onsite observation Marketing managers may also design and oversee various environmental scanning and competitive intelligence processes to help identify trends and inform the company's marketing analysis. A brand audit is a thorough examination of a brands current position in an industry compared to its competitors and the examination of its effectiveness. When it comes to brand auditing, five questions should be carefully examined and assessed. These five questions are how well the business current brand strategy is working, what are the company's established resource strengths and weaknesses, what are its external opportunities and threats, how competitive are the business prices and costs, how strong is the business competitive position in comparison to its competitors, and what strategic issues are facing the business. Generally, when a business is conducting a brand audit, the main goal is to uncover business resource strengths, deficiencies, best market opportunities, outside threats, future profitability, and its competitive standing in comparison to existing competitors. A brand audit establishes the strategic elements needed to improve brand position and competitive capabilities within the industry. Once a brand is audited, any business that ends up with a strong financial performance and market position is more likely than not to have a properly conceived and effectively executed brand strategy. A brand audit examines whether a business share of the market is increasing, decreasing, or stable. It determines if the company's margin of profit is improving, decreasing, and how much it is in comparison to the profit margin of established competitors. Additionally, a brand audit investigates trends in a business net profits, the return on existing investments, and its established economic value. It determines whether or not the business entire financial strength and credit rating is improving or getting worse. This kind of audit also assesses a business image and reputation with its customers. Furthermore, a brand audit seeks to determine whether or not a business is perceived as an industry leader in technology, offering product or service innovations, along with exceptional customer service, among other relevant issues that customers use to decide on a brand of preference. A brand audit usually focuses on a business strengths and resource capabilities because these are the elements that enhance its competitiveness. A business competitive strengths can exist in several forms. Some of these forms include skilled or pertinent expertise, valuable physical assets, valuable human assets, valuable organizational assets, valuable intangible assets, competitive capabilities, achievements and attributes that position the business into a competitive advantage, and alliances or cooperative ventures. The basic concept of a brand audit is to determine whether a business resource strengths are competitive assets or competitive liabilities. This type of audit seeks to ensure that a business maintains a distinctive competence that allows it to build and reinforce its competitive advantage. what's more, a successful brand audit seeks to establish what a business capitalizes on best, its level of expertise, resource strengths, and strongest competitive capabilities, while aiming to identify a business position and future performance.ABSTRACT The project focused on the impact of rail transportation development in tourism industry as it described the benefits that will be gained from tourism in the country provided the transport system in well developed.

Private sectors should likewise participate. In the development of transportation. Holiday relief should be given to the working population of the country to participate in tourism. CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction In world of change, one constant in the last quarter of the twentieth century has been the sustained growth of tourism both as an activity and an industry occupation. Leiper 2000:3 defined tourism as a whole range of individuals, businesses, organisations and placed which combine in some way to deliver a travel experience. Tourism is a multi dimensional multifaceted activity which touches many lives and many different economic activities that is, it can be used for the development of the concerned areas if properly utilised by both the government and private sectors. Tourism can be viewed as a situation in which the visitors interact with the hosts. This clearly means that tourism is the movement of people from their usual place of residence to another destination for either pleasure, recreation or other purpose. The main things that can be deduced from the brief description of tourism above is that, it has to deal with the movement of people transportation from their usual place of residence to another. Also, the stay which deals with either leisure, pleasure or recreation is obviously not connected with any remunerated activity and for the desired result to be achieved, it has to be over 24hours but less than a year. However, in the process of tourists carrying out the various tourism activities, there is need for a moving conveyance which is transportation. Osinubi 2006:1 defined transportation as the movement of people, goods and services from one place to another. The extent of accessibility of an area determines the inflow of tourist to such sites. A tourist attraction must be thrilling, exciting and beautiful which are parts of the real motivating factors for tourism activities. 1.1 Background of the research According to G. O. Ogunremi 2003. The ultimate purpose of transport is to serve mankind. It is an integral part of the economy of every society whether advanced or simple economies; and both production and distribution of goods at all levels rely heavily on transport. Transport economists such as Bonavia, Norton, Sharp and Healey see transport as being indispensable to any economy which necessitated the construction of rail roads in Nigeria in the precolonial and colonial times. According to Hugh Norton, transportation enables society to enjoy the advantages of specialization of resources, and the benefits of division of labour by making it possible for products to be brought from great distances thus avoiding the necessity for local production of needs. More importantly, the earliest demand for transportation of things arose from the fact that men wanted a variety of natural products but nature did not provide them in one place. This buttresses Walsh Healeys assertion which says man as a hunter and gatherer carried himself to wherever there was a surplus to meet his needs. To satisfy immediate future needs, he had to carry some with him O. Omosini, Background To Railway Policy in Nigeria, 18771901 By 1886 the British Colonial activities and intentions under Governor Macgregor and Edgerton was to extend the construction of rail line to the furthermost part of Northern Nigeria A. Akinjogbin, 2001:146. The issues regarding development of railway system in Nigeria through Port Harcourt were well articulated by different authors in line with the aim of British to annex the legitimate products in hinterland. Rail construction in Nigeria served as a major catalyst to the socioeconomic development of major towns in Nigeria, Port Harcourt and other communities in Kwara State as an integral part of the country benefited immensely from it since 1912. The construction of rail terminus in Port Harcourt boosted economic activities of Port Harcourt and its environs because it attracted many people to Port Harcourt. This research analyzes why it is necessary to formulate a policy that would hasten the rehabilitation of existing rail lines, particularly the existing structures at Port Harcourt terminus erected by the colonial master for the benefit of Port Harcourt community and travellers. It is important to look at the geographic location of Port Harcourt as a strategic point for white men during the period of railway construction. Transportation as both heritage and contemporary attraction has been under valued by tourism and leisure promoters. However, it is increasingly being recognized that transport has significant potential both its own right and in combination with other locally or regional based attraction. The transport experience can be the primary reason if not exclusive tourism experience, embracing qualities of heritage nostalgia, education, uniqueness, added value and entertainment. Also, certain form of transportation offers a unique transport experience based on the nature of the transport and location it is set in, thereby contributing to the easy movement to the place. The unique transport experience increases the demand for transportation. Transportation as one of the features of the tourism industry is as old as human existence. In ancient times, before tourism came into realization, people move on foot and travel a along distance through a lot of time was wasted, because the primitive means of transportation was used. Modern day transportation came into existence due to the limitation placed on the places that can be reached on foot and has greatly contributed to the development of tourism. Objectively, it can be deduced that it deals with the movement of people from place to place to place for leisure, recreation, pleasure etc. Tourism as a neglected area of culture in Nigeria is of no doubt a recently introduced course in higher institutions. It is facing a lot of problem such as illiteracy, misconception of term etc. A lot has been done and is still going on to alleviate these problems by different organizations e.g. United Nations World Tourism Organisation UNWTO, Association of Nigeria Journalist and Writers of Tourism ANJET, Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation NTDC etc. Conclusively, tourism and transportation are two inseparable twin as one helps the other which means the role transport plays in tourism cannot be under emphasized. 1.2Statement of Research Problem Tourism and transportation sectors have great concern over the increasing fall of state affairs which has be on blamed on the following. Tourism in Nigeria has suffered a lot of set back during the last few years due to a lot of factors such as frequent ethnic and religions clashes and hostage taking for example in oil producing areas, which have tampered with the security system of the nation. Furthermore, available roads to most of our attractions are not motorable, lack of electricity and potable accommodation is a luxury in most of our resorts while most of them are still without communication facilities despite the advent of Global system mobile communication in the country lack of awareness programme to encourage people to visit places. Thus, inadequate funds for rehabitation of facilities. 1.3 Aim and Objectives of the study As the tourism industry is of rapid growing segment of todays economy and consideration have been given to the importance of rail transportation development on tourism only. Therefore, the aim of this study centered on it. It is also aimed at looking into the various problems that face the effective uses of rail transportation system and how these problems can be solved. The significance of rail transportation system in tourism industry will be adequately highlighted. The study is going to analyze the impact of rail transportation development on tourism industry for effective performance and the various modes available. Also, the various problem that are likely to affect the expected impact of the rail transportation plays in tourism industry. Furthermore, it is going to link the development of tourism in Nigeria to the extent of development of rail transportation. Government will also get to know of the negative impacts of poor transportation networks on tourism and ways these can be tackled for proper tourists flow into Nigeria especially the tourism destinations thereby benefiting from tourism. 1.4 Significance of the study The importance of the study will facilitate the significance of rail transportation development system in tourism performance. It will also stimulate researcher s to further investigate way of improving rail transportation system in tourism industry for effective performance. Finally, the research will tend to highlight the relationship between transportation system and the tourism industry. 1.5Research question The following research questions are some of the questions to be used in the process of this study.
