Background of the Study
Digital nomadism, characterized by individuals who leverage technology to work remotely while traveling, has transformed the tourism landscape. This trend has created opportunities for the hospitality industry to cater to a new segment of travelers who seek long-term stays, coworking spaces, and reliable internet connectivity.
Plateau State, with its serene environment, mild climate, and cultural attractions, has the potential to attract digital nomads. By offering tailored services such as high-speed internet, work-friendly accommodations, and recreational activities, hotels in the state can increase occupancy rates and revenue. According to Nwankwo and Bello (2023), digital nomadism contributed to a 12% increase in long-term hotel bookings in select Nigerian states.
This study examines the role of digital nomad tourism in Plateau State and its effect on hotel occupancy rates, identifying opportunities for growth and challenges to implementation.

Despite its natural and cultural appeal, Plateau State has yet to fully capitalize on the growing trend of digital nomad tourism. Many hotels lack the necessary infrastructure, such as high-speed internet and coworking spaces, to attract this niche market. As a result, the state has missed out on potential revenue and occupancy rate increases associated with digital nomads.
This study explores the factors limiting the adoption of digital nomad-friendly services and their impact on hotel occupancy rates in Plateau State.
