Abstract: This paper investigated the factors that influence domestic tourism in Nigeria. Data for this purpose have been gathered from the publications of World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Data analyses have been carried out with unit root tests, followed by co-integration and error correction modelling. The results reveal that income, travel cost and infrastructure are important determinants of domestic tourism in Nigeria. The implication of these results for policymakers is that there is need to rejuvenate the country's tourist attraction centres as well as transport infrastructure to propel domestic tourism.
Keywords: Domestic Tourism, Pull Factors, Income, Infrastructure, Travel Cost, Nigeria
