INTRODUCTION

For the purpose of setting out the discourse upon which we aregathered to deliberate on the very important and timely theme of‘‘Tourism and Transportation interdependencies for mutual growthand sustainable development’’ , it is necessary to establish certainindubitable assumptions which the theme avers to namely:

a. Tourism (T) and Transportation (T) are not just interrelated butintertwined ;

b. The interdependency of T&T have cause and effect (input , outputand outcomes);

c. When properly synergized, galvanized and coordinated T&T bringabout Economic growth(EG) and Sustainable Development(SD)and

d. When effective transportation and tourism are ignored ,underdevelopment , and poverty are rife .

NEXUS OF TOURISM AND TRANSPORTATION

Tourism and transportation are

like Siamese twin-inseparable.

Although they operate Although they operate together , transportation is the life-wire of tourism .

Sustainability of tourism depends largely on effectiveness and availability of effective multi-modal transportation .

INFRASTRUCTURE DEFINED

part of a structure; material or economic base of a society or an organization.

can be seen as the basic structure that fosters the good performance of cities’, states’ or countries’ essential services. states’ or countries’ essential services.

In this sense, for a country to have a good logistics infrastructure system in the different modes of transportation, constant investments from both public and private sectors are needed

Countries in today’s globalised and competitive world that are development driven focus improving infrastructure to attract development , investment , manufacturing and tourism

Experts* have acknowledge the fact that :

Infrastructure engenders economic diversification through technological innovation &changes in the structure of production/consumption.

Like industry, infrastructure has direct effects on production costs & profitability ofagriculture, as well as creates significant structural changes on the rural economy.

It has also become evident in Nigeria that prioritization of infrastructure development

Most economic policies fostered dependence on crude oil

Structure of the economy remained import -dependent, consumption driven and undiversified.

Oil accounted for over 95 per cent of exports and foreign exchange earnings

manufacturing sector accounted for less than one percent of total exports.

The high growth recorded during 2011-2015, which averaged 4.8 per cent per annum was mainly driven by higher oil prices and was largely non-inclusive.

SYNOPSIS OF NIGERIA’S DEVELOPMENT BEFORE AS AT 2015

annum was mainly driven by higher oil prices and was largely non-inclusive.

Majority of Nigerians remained under the burden of poverty, inequality and unemployment.

General economic performance for several years undermined by deplorable infrastructure, corruption and mismanagement of public finances.

Decades of consumption and high oil price-driven growth led to an economy with a positive but jobless growth .

Nigeria , Africa's most populated country is an untapped tourist paradise is blessed with enchanting tourist attractions all over the country including:

Long stretches of exotic beaches Lush mountains Well preserved tradition and culture Ancient architectures Historical sites Historical sites worship places , Traditional palaces , cultures and kingdoms Stunning environments and natural sites and sceneries

These locations have remained mostly unvisited because lack of means of reaching them .

Transportation therefore becomes an essential component of effective tourism development

AIR TRANSPORTATION POTENTIALS IN TOURISM

One of the most utilized modes of transportation for tourism promotion

In 2014, airlines transported 3.3 billion people across a network ofalmost 50,000 routes generating 58 million jobs and $2.4 trillion inbusiness activity (International Air Transport Association, 2014).

Countries with thriving airlines /aviation infrastructure have thepotential of attracting tourists , boosting their economy and improvingthe lives of their citizens .
