AN
ASSESSMENT OF TOURISM POTENTIALS
ABSTRACT
Tourism
as an agent of development, leads to a lot of benefit‟s, Nigeria as a country
richly endowed with a wide range of cultural and natural resource‟s relative to
other nation‟s in Africa and on a global level, most of which are largely
untapped. There are many approaches to assess these resource potentials of
which studies have been done in some parts of the world. but despite the
availability of these potentials in Kaduna state, the level of tourist influx
still remains low, which forms the basis of this study, to assess the tourism
potentials, there challenges and prospects in Kaduna state. Opinion‟s of
experienced tourist, experts in different fields of study, were sampled with
questionnaires at different potential spot‟s to cover the three geographical
zones of the state. Data were collected and analyzed using weighted sum model
(WSM), through ranking and scaling techniques. The outcomes suggest major
shortcomings are traced to inadequate infrastructures, funding, advertisement,
and insecurity in these potentials among others. The study determine the
potential values of different potentials site‟s, and proposes clustering of the
tourist spots to enhanced their potentials values and made recommendations to
improve the industry in other to boost tourism industry in the state.
CHAPTER
ONE
1.0
INTRODUCTION
The
profitability of international tourism industry has garnered widespread
recognition of tourism as a promising development agent for developing
countries. Throughout the past fifty years, tourism has rapidly spread and has
emerged as a major export sector in many countries (UNWTO, 2007). The decision
to adopt tourism as an agent of development has been largely based on the
expectation that tourism can:(a) increased foreign exchange earnings,(b) create
employment,(c) attract foreign investment, and(d) positively contribute to
local economic and the national balance of payments (Sharply and Telfair,
2002). In other cases it has been said that tourism is turned to as a last
option by countries that lack extractable resources, are burdened by foreign
debt, and rely on international aid (Brown, 1998).
Kaduna
state richly endowed with a wide range of natural and cultural resources
relative to other state in Nigeria and on a global level most of which are
largely untapped. These resource‟s fall into protected ecosystems (game
reserves and recreational parks), protected landscapes or natural sceneries,
cultural sites, coastline, traditional festival and historic relics and
monuments (Okechuku, 1990 and Okoli 2001).Kaduna state tourism resources are
highly distributed from the south-northern part of Kaduna, which has a
geo-cultural pattern, (Okoli 2001).
The
availability of these potentials has made the development of tourism industry
to undergo a gradual evolution, which each phase reflecting its growing importance
in the economy. Despite all these economic, political, cultural and social
benefits, tourism development has not been strong politically in Nigeria,
especially in Kaduna state.
