Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Local cuisine has long been recognized as an integral component of cultural identity and a powerful tool in event marketing. In Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, the inclusion of traditional dishes such as tuwo shinkafa, miyan kuka, and kilishi in event planning enhances the appeal of social gatherings, festivals, and community events. These culinary offerings not only attract attendees but also create memorable experiences that resonate with cultural pride and heritage. According to Abdullahi and Musa (2024), incorporating local cuisine in event marketing strengthens community ties, fosters tourism, and enhances the overall value proposition of events. However, the extent to which local cuisine impacts event marketing in Dutse remains underexplored, especially in terms of its contribution to attendee satisfaction and event branding.
