Infrastructure and Sustainable Tourism Development in Nigeria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Infrastructure is critical to the sustainable development of the tourism sector in any society. This study assessed the availability of general infrastructure, tourism infrastructure and other social services in thirty randomly selected tourists’ destinations in South-South Nigeria. Data for the study were generated with the aid of infrastructure/social services checklist alongside oral interview with tourism officials in the area. Findings revealed a significant deficit in the number and types of infrastructure available as more than fifty percent of sampled tourist destinations lack the basic infrastructure such as tourist accommodation, transport infrastructure and health services. The sustainability of tourism in this area is in doubt except effort is made to engage the public-private partnership for the provision of critical infrastructure in these tourist destinations.
