ASSESSMENT OF TOURISTS PERCEPTION OF THE YANKARI GAME RESERVE AS A TOURIST DESTINATION
ABSTRACT
The study evaluated the Yankari Games Reserve as a tourism destination by studying the perceptions of those who visit it. The assessment examined indicators such as the amount of patronage in terms of yearly tourist arrivals, the reserve’s wildlife resources, infrastructure, services, and safety.
The strategy involved conducting a reconnaissance study of the reserve to gather observations and delivering questionnaires to a sample of tourists.
A sample of 50 respondents, accounting for 10% of the average daily number of tourists received throughout the survey period, was used. The survey found that tourist influx has increased during the last decade.
According to tourist perception surveys, the majority of visitors to Yankari come to see the game, which is the most important attraction. The survey also revealed that tourists are pleased with the park, with 42% preferring Yankari above other parks in Nigeria.
The study also found that Yankari could be improved if the master plan for its development is properly executed. However, the reserve has a promising future due to the abundance of its resources.
Proposals were made for adequate policies and institutional frameworks to raise the park’s standard to that of similar parks in other regions of the world covered in the study.
