REMINDER: Aims and Objectives of the study
The primaryaim of the study is to analyse the impact of insecurity on the tourism industry as a basis for developing mitigation strategies
for conflict–marked economies with special focus on Nigeria. As highlighted, the main objective is to determine how the tourism sector can
deal with security issues in Nigeria. The specific research objectives are provided below:
1. Identify the effects of insecurity on the tourism industry in Nigeria
2. Analyze the current measures by the government and private sector in recovering and promoting the damaged destination image
3. Establish measures and strategies that can be adopted by key players to recover and promote tourism in Nigeria
The research objectives presented above are better explained through the following specific research questions.
1. What are the effects of insecurity on the tourism industry in Nigeria?
2. What are the current measures put in place by the government and private sector in recovering and promoting the damaged destination
image?
3. What measures and strategies that can be adopted by key players to recover and promote tourism in Nigeria?
REMINDER: Significance of the study
The threat of insecurity arising from political unrest and terrorism is a great concern, especially in Africa where governments lack the
appropriate capacity and skills to address these issues. Moreover, the problem of insecurity is global and its effects are being felt in
many regions particularly in the Middle East and some parts of Europe (Sapsford & Jupp, 2006). Security issues are known to significantly
affect or even disable the entire tourism industries in the affected countries. This study is important at this time because it will
provide crucial information on how governments and the tourism sectors in these affected countries can address the rise in insecurity and
maintaining a profitable industry.
REMINDER: Scope of the study
The research seeks to provide crucial information on how insecurity issues can be addressed while maintaining a profitable tourism
industry. The main area of focus in the study is Nigeria. More specifically, the study evaluates the tourism industry in Nigeria.
NOTE:
There will not be a case study of any particular location as compared to in the assignment. For the Thesis, it’s going to be something
open and general that could be applicable in Nigeria.
Since my participants will be student here in the UK, very certain most of them will or don’t know our case study locations, hence it’s
not necessary to have case study locations, instead it’s going to be Nigeria as a whole.
QUESTIONNAIRE:
The researcher will will use both the close-ended & open ended questionnaire. The close-ended approach of questionnaire is to yield
standard and more specific responses that is easy to analyze and draw themes and trends, while the open-ended approach questionnaire can
yield a variation of responses but with more interesting in depth data (Vogt, 2010).
