Abstract
The study investigated the analysis of security challenges and implication of tourism development in Akwa Ibom State. Five research questions and hypotheses were formulated by the researcher in-line with the study objectives to guide the study. Oral interviews and questionnaires were used to gather relevant information from respondents from the study area. The theoretical framework adopted for the study were modernization theory and dependency theory, dues to it various implications and influence on tourism and hospitality industry. The study employed the survey research design alongside the primary and secondary source of data collection.
A sample size of 100 respondents were randomly selected from the entire population of people currently dwelling in the study area. A total of one hundred (100) questionnaires were distributed to some selected residents of Akwa Ibom State. The data gathered were analyzed using the frequency tables and Chi-Square. In the analysis, it was revealed that crime and war, social and political unrests, environmental threats, spread of infectious diseases were the security challenges that affect tourism development. Also that, security challenges frequently affect the growth of tourism in Calabar Municipality. It was concluded that inadequate security, inadequate space and poor funding, low patronage, and Inadequate preservation of exhibits were among the challenges facing tourism development in Calabar Municipality. However, in order for the Nigerian government to accomplish development in the tourism sector, security and other safety measures must be implemented.

5.1 Conclusion
Terrorism and civil instability have been the root causes of countless tourism disasters. While civil upheaval is more limited to individual destinations and occurs infrequently, terrorism has turned into a major global threat for the tourism industry, tourists, and hosting communities leading to a great security challenges which constitutes threat to lives and properties, hampered business activities, and discourage local and foreign visitors, all of which stifle and retards development of a country. It is therefore apparent that national security is a desideratum, sine qua non for tourism and economic growth and tourism development of any country (Oladeji and Folorunso, 2007). The tourism sector in Nigeria needs to adopt a new mindset and acknowledge that terrorists would one day view the sector as a target, so the sector must be ready. An important component of the total level of service quality provided by the tourism sector is the provision of appropriate security. In this research the researcher has listed the different security challenges faced by tourism and the possible solution to them.
Recommendation
The following recommendations were made based on findings of the study.
- The promotion of new locations must heavily rely on the media.
The media and tourism have a critical and intricate interaction. Because so many travel decisions are made by people who have never actually visited the area, tourism is heavily dependent on media reportage. The important players in local, national, and international tourism can undergo profound changes in attitudes and behavior that will promote peace, security, and sustainable development thanks to the potent effects of media communications. - Community policing and local vigilante groups should also be encouraged to enhance better safety in the area. These safety officers should be trained and retrained for better service delivery.
- The installation of appropriate safety gadgets in all tourism outfits in the region should also be adopted.
- The government should borrow a leave from other countries on the measures they have used in curbing terrorism and crime activities around tourist destination.
