Abstract
Utilization of tourism destinations often leans towards certain trends such as seasonality, cost, and volume of visitation. Information on trends could form the context for visitation forecasting and planning to cater for expected tourism demand. This study examines trends in tourism utilization of the Yankari National Park (YNP) and Cross River National Park (CRNP) during the period 2002–2006. The data were analysed using index numbers, growth rates of visitation, time series, and χ2 analyses. Inter-annual visitation fluctuated, showing no consistent trend. The intra-annual examination showed that there was seasonality in visitation. Significant relationships were found between utilization and location, nationality, occupation, and income status. No significant relationship was found between gender and utilization.
