Background of the Study
Smart tourism integrates advanced technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and personalization of tourism services. In the hospitality industry, IoT technologies such as smart room controls, keyless entry, and personalized guest experiences have revolutionized the way hotels operate and interact with guests.
Kano, as a major cultural and commercial hub in Nigeria, has seen significant growth in its hospitality industry. However, the adoption of smart tourism technologies is still evolving. Implementing IoT solutions can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance guest satisfaction, positioning Kano as a competitive destination. According to Ahmed and Suleiman (2023), IoT adoption in Kano’s hospitality sector has the potential to increase customer satisfaction rates by 25%.
This study evaluates the adoption of smart tourism technologies and IoT in Kano’s hospitality industry, exploring their benefits, challenges, and potential for growth.
