Background of the Study
Historical monuments are critical assets in cultural tourism, serving as tangible representations of a region’s history and identity. Sokoto State, with its rich Islamic heritage and historical landmarks such as the Sultan’s Palace, the Tomb of Usman dan Fodio, and various ancient mosques, holds immense potential as a cultural tourism destination. These monuments not only provide educational value but also attract domestic and international tourists seeking unique historical experiences.
Despite the presence of these significant sites, the contribution of historical monuments to tourism revenue in Sokoto State appears underwhelming. Factors such as inadequate infrastructure, poor site management, and limited promotion have hindered their ability to attract a substantial number of tourists. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of historical monuments on tourism revenue in Sokoto State and to explore ways to optimize their potential.
Statement of the Problem
Although Sokoto State is endowed with numerous historical monuments, their impact on tourism revenue remains limited. Poor site management, lack of promotional activities, and insufficient visitor facilities contribute to the underperformance of these sites. Additionally, inadequate data on tourist numbers and revenue generated complicates efforts to assess their economic contribution. This study addresses these issues by investigating the current state of historical monuments in Sokoto State and their influence on tourism revenue, while proposing strategies for improvement.
