Background of the Study
Taraba State, located in northeastern Nigeria, is renowned for its diverse cultural heritage, including traditional festivals, music, dance, and art. Rural tourism, which involves visits to rural areas for leisure, education, or cultural experiences, provides an opportunity to showcase and preserve these cultural traditions while promoting economic development.
Rural tourism offers a platform for cultural exchange, where visitors interact with local communities and experience their way of life. However, modernization and globalization have led to the erosion of traditional practices in many parts of Taraba State. By fostering rural tourism, communities can protect their cultural heritage and pass it on to future generations.
This study examines the role of rural tourism in preserving cultural heritage in Taraba State, identifying challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.
Statement of the Problem
Despite its rich cultural resources, Taraba State faces challenges in preserving its traditions due to rapid urbanization, youth migration, and limited support for cultural initiatives. Rural tourism, which could serve as a tool for cultural preservation, remains underdeveloped in the state.
Factors such as inadequate infrastructure, limited funding, and a lack of awareness about the benefits of rural tourism contribute to this problem. Without strategic interventions, the state risks losing its cultural identity and the economic benefits associated with cultural tourism.
