Abstract
Tourism, if properly developed has the ability to boost the economy of the host destination through income generation and job creation. This study assessed the availability of sport-tourism facilities in Jos metropolis, Plateau State, Nigeria. A set of questionnaires was the major instrument used for data collection. The selected data collection centers within the study area included the Rwang-Pam Township Stadium, Plateau Club, Laming Golf Course, University of Jos and Bukuru Mini Stadium. Data were presented in tables and summarized in percentages. Results showed that there are thirty-three (33) sport facilities in the study area which are unevenly distributed across the data collection points with football being the most common, while a total of seventy-nine (79) additional sports facilities are required with gymnasium and taekwondo leading. The study suggests the need to fully develop sport-tourism facilities so as to boost the internally generated revenue and foreign exchange.
