Although, the case is not Africa most especially Nigeria where vast majority of tourist attractions and potentials have not been properly harnessed while others are lying dormant without being patronised. The survival of this industry is largely dependent on patronage to the various attractions available in the country. This research examined the pattern and determinants of patronage of tourist attractions in Lagos being one of the tourism industry hub in Nigeria. This would guide appropriate recommendations to factors affecting the level of patronage to attractions.The research methodology made use of interview, questionnaire survey and visual survey for data collection. The management of each of the selected attractions are interviewed while the questionnaires are administered to visitors who participated in the survey voluntarily. A guided tour was made round the tourist attraction with a representative of the staff to ascertain the available facilities and take photographs where necessary.
