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
