Background of the Study
Disease outbreaks pose significant challenges to the tourism industry by disrupting travel plans, decreasing tourist confidence, and straining hospitality and healthcare systems. Niger State, with its rich cultural festivals, natural attractions, and historical landmarks, has been a destination of interest for both domestic and international tourists. However, periodic outbreaks of diseases such as cholera, meningitis, and Lassa fever have disrupted tourism activities, leading to declines in visitor numbers and revenue.
Tourism sector resilience—the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of adversity—is a critical factor in mitigating the effects of disease outbreaks. Niger State’s tourism stakeholders, including government agencies, private operators, and local communities, must develop effective strategies to ensure the sector's sustainability during and after health crises. This study explores the impact of disease outbreaks on the tourism sector in Niger State and assesses the measures taken to enhance its resilience.
Statement of the Problem
Disease outbreaks in Niger State have repeatedly disrupted tourism activities, resulting in financial losses, decreased employment, and reduced investor confidence. Despite these challenges, there is limited research on how the tourism sector in Niger State can build resilience to health crises. This lack of knowledge hinders the development of proactive measures to mitigate future risks and support recovery. This study addresses this gap by examining the effects of disease outbreaks on the tourism sector and evaluating strategies for enhancing its resilience.

-
To analyze the effects of disease outbreaks on the tourism sector in Niger State.
-
To evaluate the resilience strategies implemented by tourism stakeholders during disease outbreaks.
-
To recommend measures for enhancing tourism sector resilience in Niger State.
Research Questions
-
What are the effects of disease outbreaks on the tourism sector in Niger State?
-
How effective are the resilience strategies implemented by tourism stakeholders during disease outbreaks?
-
What measures can be adopted to enhance the resilience of the tourism sector in Niger State?
Research Hypotheses
-
Disease outbreaks significantly disrupt the tourism sector in Niger State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the tourism sector in Niger State, with specific attention to the effects of disease outbreaks on visitor numbers, revenues, and stakeholder operations. Limitations include the availability of reliable data on the financial impacts of disease outbreaks and the varying perceptions of resilience strategies among stakeholders.
