ANALYSIS
OF THE PATRONAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF TOURISM DESTINATIONS
ABSTRACT
Tourism
destinations patronage is not uniform. They vary according to the uniqueness of
the destinations. For a destination to be successful, it is imperative to
address tourist‟s expectations and satisfactions in other to determine the
areas of strength to utilize and areas of weaknesses to improve. This study
advances the understanding of tourist demographic characteristics, trip
characteristics and travel motivations of tourists in the study area. Using
krejcie and morgan sample table, 380 questionnaires were administered. The
study found that tourists were typically highly educated, young adults and
mostly males, working full time with high income. On average tourists stayed in
Jos for 1-7 days and traveled alone for adventure, leisure or educational
purposes. The study also reveals and ranked the factors motivating and
militating tourist‟s choice of Jos. Visiting of relations and friends,
weather/climate, scenic beauty and unique attractions ranked higher in
motivating tourist choice of Jos, while frequent and incessant crisis ranked
highest in discouraging tourist choice of Jos. An Important Performance
Analysis Technique (IPA) was used to determine the most important and
performing tourism component in the study area. It was discovered that
attraction is the most important performing component of Jos as a tourist
destination. In the light of the above, the study makes recommendations to
improve the study area‟s attractiveness and to satisfy tourist needs and
expectations in other to enhance patronage.

outlets for tourists who desire to experience places, people and environments
