The
State shares border with Gombe State to the North, and Borno State to
the North East, while to the West it is bordered with Taraba State as
well as the Republic of Cameroon to the East.
There are over 80
ethnic groups found in Adamawa State. Some of the ethnic groups include:
Fulani, Verre, Chamba, Lilba, Kwah, Waja, Tambo, Libo Mwama, Kilba,
Viengo and others.
The people of Adamawa, are noted for its rich
cultural heritage which reflects in its history, i.e. dances, dress
patterns, craftsmanship, music, and her cordial relationships. The three
main religions are Islam, Christianity and Traditionalism.
Adamawa
is the millennium tourist destination in Nigeria. All major towns in the
State are adequately connected to the National Grid and have standard
health facilities spread all over the State. There are good catering
services provided by both government and private hotels.
In
categorizing the affected population into socio-economic or demographic
groups, adequate attention must be paid to ensuring that the
segmentation criteria accurately reflect existing differences in
behavioural inclinations towards leisure. In this context, targeting the
youth either as a distinct segment of a population, or as a group to be
contrasted with another in that same population, offers a useful
analytical framework for assessing future projections on tourism growth
in that population. Indeed, given that youths generally differ from
older age cohorts, either in their consumption habits or in their
greater likelihood for future behavioural adjustments, underscores the
appropriateness of any decision that focuses on them exclusively, or as
contrasting groups in baseline studies on leisure behaviour. . It is
against this background that the present study examines the problem and
prospect for the tourism in Adamawa state case study of Yola north local
government.
