Background of the Study

Traditional festivals have long been recognized as vital components of cultural tourism, offering opportunities for visitors to engage with local traditions, music, dance, and rituals. In Bauchi State, renowned for its vibrant cultural scene, festivals such as the Durbar Festival and the Yankari Festival attract both domestic and international tourists. These events not only celebrate the rich heritage of the state but also serve as avenues for cultural exchange and economic development.

However, despite their appeal, the potential of Bauchi’s traditional festivals to attract international tourists remains underdeveloped. Issues such as poor event management, inadequate marketing, and limited infrastructure hinder their full potential. As global travelers increasingly seek unique cultural experiences, it is essential to explore how Bauchi State can leverage its traditional festivals to enhance its profile as an international tourism destination. This study investigates the role of traditional festivals in attracting international tourists to Bauchi State, with a focus on identifying opportunities for improvement.
