ABSTRACT This
study titled accessing the economic impact of transportation system in Tourism
development in Nigeria using a case study of Gombe metropolis Gombe State. The
purpose is to find out the impact of transportation on tourism development and
its contribution in the development of the nation. In order to address the
study adequately, personal interview were employed, questionnaires were
designed and administered to the sample that was randomly selected. Thus, the
data collected were analysed using simple percentage method. However, the study
was able to recommend that private sectors should be encouraged to participate
in facilitating the development and growth of tourism and transportation sector
in Nigeria. 1.0INTRODUCTION According to Iwena (2000) in his book Essential
Geography” describe Tourism as the phenomena, which involve the visiting of
people to places of interest where they can relax, derive pleasure and
entertainment. Tourism is a basic means of attracting visitors to appreciate
the material and human potentials that abound in such a place and this is
further enhanced via transportation if properly harnesses can be utilised for
the development and progress of a place. Tourism may be seen to consist of a
sense of encounters in which visitor interact with the host. Thus, it simply
defines as the movement of people from their origin to places of destination
for recreational purposes. The main point to be noted from the brief
description above is that it is concerned with how man travels from one place
to another for leisure recreational purposes. According to Ogunlade (2004)
states that tourism is God’s own given gift to man in the sense that any
tourist attraction centre is beautiful, thrilling and marvellous sight to
behold which leave you thinking of how great God is to Mankind. According to
Ogunlade (2005) states that the journey of Nigeria Tourism began September 25th
1962 when the Government took its first moved by establishing the Nigeria
Tourism Association ( NTA). The NTA a government body primarily charged with
the responsibility of developing and promoting tourism in Nigeria. Mean while a
decree 54 of 1976 was promulgated due to the fact that NTA could not meet the
expected challenges. Therefore the Nigeria Tourism Board (NTB) was established
which further led to the establishment of the Nigeria Tourism Development
corporation (NTDC) which is the government parastals and at present as a
co-ordinating body in Nigeria. According to Ogunlade (2005), In July 1990 a new
tourism policy was launched by the Federal Government which further explained
the reason why both the public and private sectors should get involve in the
tourism industry. Among these public and private sectors and other bodies that
were established value this policy was the Directorate of food, Road and Rural
Infrastructure (DFRRI) and the mass transits system to see how the rural areas
that harbour most of our tourist product and potential can be made accessible
to facilitate intrastate and interstate travels. 1.2STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Tourism and transportation sectors have great concern over the increasing fall
of state affairs which has be on blamed on the following. Tourism in Nigeria
has suffered a lot of set back during the last few years due to a lot of
factors such as frequent ethnic and religions clashes and hostage taking for example
in oil producing areas, which have tampered with the security system of the
nation. Furthermore, available roads to most of our attractions are not
motorable, lack of electricity and potable accommodation is a luxury in most of
our resorts while most of them are still without communication facilities
despite the advent of Global system mobile communication in the country lack of
awareness programme to encourage people to visit places. Thus, inadequate funds
for rehabitation of facilities. 1.3OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY As the tourism
industry is of rapid growing segment of today’s economy and consideration have
been given to the importance of transportation on tourism only. Therefore, the
purpose of this study centred on the following. It is also aimed at looking

and how these problems can be solved. The economic impact of transportation
system in tourism development will be adequately highlighted. Finally, it is
hoped that through this study government and the private sector would see the
need to provide the necessary facilities/ resources for effective
transportation in tourism industry. 1.4STATEMENT OF RESEARCH
