Impact of Information Technology Security System on Patronage of Private Beaches in Eti-Osa Local Government of Lagos State

Tourism is a significant contributor to the economic growth and cultural enrichment of Lagos State, particularly in the Eti-Osa Local Government area. Private beaches play a crucial role in coastal tourism development, attracting millions of visitors each year for business, leisure, and recreational purposes. However, the area faces several challenges such as over-congestion during peak periods, insufficient infrastructural facilities, pollution, and occasional flooding, which can affect the safety and security of tourists. To address these issues and ensure a safe and secure environment for visitors, the integration of robust information technology security systems is essential. This study aims to examine the relationship between IT security measures and the patronage of private beaches by exploring the perceptions and experiences of beachgoers and operators. A total of 150 valid questionnaires were collected from respondents of the two major beaches in the area, representing an average number of customers over time. The data were analyzed using percentages and descriptive statistics. The study found that most respondents agreed that adequate security systems would strengthen the security of the beach and increase their patronage, leading to referrals to the destination. The study recommended the monitoring and transmission of information using gadgets like Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Walkie Talkies, and Electric Security Alarms
