Abstract

This paper examines the effect of economic and non-economic factors on international tourist arrival in Nigeria. Annual data on tourist arrival from 53 countries and explanatory variables from 2010-2016 were analyzed using the dynamic panel data regression technique. Results suggest that travel cost, internet use, political stability and number of hotel rooms are the main determinants of tourist flows. The income of tourist-origin countries outside Africa negatively and significantly affects tourist arrival. Travel cost has a robust negative effect on tourists from within and outside Africa. The number of hotel rooms and urbanization rate positively influence tourist arrival, indicating the importance of tourism infrastructure. Government and policymakers must provide an enabling business environment, infrastructure, and policies to improve the country's global competitiveness.
国际游客抵达尼日利亚的决定因素
本文研究了经济和非经济因素对国际游客抵达尼日利亚的影响。采用动态面板数据回归技术,分析了 2010-2016 年期间 53 个国家的游客抵达年度数据和解释变量。结果表明,旅行成本、互联网使用、政治稳定性和酒店客房数量是游客流量的主要决定因素。非洲以外游客来源国的收入对游客抵达有显著的负面影响。旅行成本对非洲内外的游客都有显著的负面影响。酒店客房数量和城市化率对游客到达有积极影响,这表明了旅游基础设施的重要性。政府和决策者必须提供有利的商业环境、基础设施和政策,以提高国家的全球竞争力。
