dc.description	Today, festivals as tourism products are considered to contribute significantly to cultural and socio-economic development of countries especially at the rural level. Festivals have major socio-economic importance on tourist destination which affects the host community. The desire for festival and event is not specifically to group or regroup the host; cultural festival is often hosted because of its tourism and economic opportunities. In addition, social and cultural benefits of cultural festival cannot be over emphasised due to its enormous potential to regenerate tourism attraction. The government now supports and promotes festivals and cultural events as one of their strategies for developing potential tourist attractions. Festivals in turn are important tools for attracting tourists within different communities.
dc.description.abstract	In Nigeria, culture is manifested in art, dance, language, literature, folklore, mores, music, government, festival, museums and the environment. Tourists engage in cultural experience searching for authenticity and meaning of these cultural heritage. The motivation of such tourist and their behaviour in a destination lead to the creation of cultural manifestations developed specifically for tourists’ consumption. This study is based on the development of cultural tourism in Nigeria with a particular reference to Remileke festival. Remileke festival is a potential tourist attraction with lots of cultural attachments exploitable for national development. The cultural aspect of tourism has not really been exploited to the maximum and many potential cultural attractions are still off the grid in terms of recognition, one of them is Remileke festival. Participant observation was used to obtain key information about Remileke festival and its cultural attachment. Thus, this paper vividly sought to unveil the cultural significance of Remileke festival and its subsequent contribution to the development of the nation at large.
