Abstract:
Tourism in Nigeria is bedeviled by myriads of problems, major among other problems is effective management. Throughout history, in cultures all over the world, people have gathered to celebrate for numerous different reasons and events have always been a central element of human society. Even though events have been an integral part of human nature for thousands of years, it has only recently developed into a real business. It has become a part of the tourism industry as a key element of special interest in tourism, and around the world, units for event tourism are increasingly being established within tourist organizations. Unfortunately, the tempo is not sustained because of ‘Nigerian factor’. Many problems were identified as militating against event management. The study which was qualitative in nature made a broad overview of different types of events available in Nigeria tourism. Different management strategies were suggested by the paper which if taken into consideration will sustain tourism in Nigeria.
