with their hosts.
The history of tourism could be traced back to the days when Jesus Christ was

from the east of Jerusalem to king to visit Jesus Christ with different gifts.
Mathew chapter 2 (The holy bible), Tourism is said to be God’s own given gift
to man, in the sense that any tourist attraction centre is beautiful, thrilling

kindness to man.
Religion according to Socrates (a greek philosopher, 1912) is defined as the
practise that depicts the belief of people which are of more importance to
their everyday life. It controls the laws, how you think and act, what you
believe in, value etc. This have led to a dramatic increase in knowledge about
their cultures, norms and also the establishment of economic and social
histories of progress.
History has it that the stating point of religion was from the tribal band
whose religion is amonistic and involved shamans (a medicine man from a similar
region) and totems (an object; species, plant, natural phenomenon symbolising a
family). Since the group was tribal, there was no permanent sanctuary for
worship with cultic rites centre on identification with wild animals and appeasing
spirits of the hunted animals.
Hospitality industry, an aspect of Tourism which cannot be overlooked is
defined according to “the prospectors act 1956. section 1 (3) as an
establishment held our by the proprietors offering foods and drinks if so required

roads between the main cities and towns of the time along which posting houses
known as stabuli were set up to provide holding, food drinks. Thus, Every
city/town at this time had ale houses which provides only drink which later
