Tourist perception’ is fine though presupposes that you will be collecting primary data either directly from tourists or indirectly from tourism industry actors servicing eco-tourism. You would need to define generally (and then specifically in relation to Nigeria) what eco-tourism is and how it manifests itself in Nigeria. Perception of ‘eco-tourism development’ is more problematic – I might be an eco-tourist on holiday in Nigeria thus experiencing (thus with a perception of) an eco-tourist vacation but that doesn’t necessarily mean I have any understanding of how eco-tourism in Nigeria is developing, whether that is a general view of Nigerian eco-tourism or a specific view of eco-tourism in Badagry Beach or its environs.
They can tell you the influencing factors for taking such a vacation, they can tell you their experiences and they can tell you what would enhance or add to their experience, what would make them return. This information you can then develop into recommendations on eco-tourism development but individual tourists per se would only be surmising as to how to do this.
“Eco-tourism Development in Nigeria: The case of eco-tourist perception of Badagry Beach, Lagos, Nigeria” might be a better working title as it still keeps to your topic but avoids the implication that your respondents. NB You seem to be confusing quant and qual data below – surveys have multiple respondents completing questionnaires analysed quantitatively; whereas interviews/focus groups have less participants with data analysed by content analysis or thematic coding.
Alternative suggested objectives: –
1. Understand the nature and role of tourism within Nigeria and especially within the study area (Introduction chapter)
2. Define and identify the nature of eco-tourism inc the attraction of this genre (Lit Review)
3. Examine the experiences and perceptions of eco-tourists in the study area (your research)
4. Recommend ways of enhancing eco-tourism development in the study area (Conclusions from Findings)
Introduction should set your context – eg nature of Nigerian tourism, why the particular location and then down to the tourism make up in the study area (to also define what the study area is – eg is it a location or an area of local government.
Literature needs to cover definitions around eco-tourism and its wider (if any) context eg green – sustainable – environmental. General themes of tourist motivation (why do people go on holiday travel – but then leading to literature around eco-tourism motivation. Literature on tourism as a pioneering economic activity and development sector – as this links later into your recommendations for development of eco-tourism in your area.
Methodology needs to be better defined and tightened up around approach and research (suggest link to the layered path through Saunders Research Onion. More detail around how the survey will be enabled. Survey questions should be taken from your literature and possibly your introduction chapter.
