Abstract
Due to high production costs, competition from imports, and a lack of government assistance, Nigeria's textile industry has seen a sharp decrease. Through boosting local production, supporting cultural heritage, and encouraging economic sustainability, this study examines tourism as a strategic instrument for industry revitalization. The market for indigenous textiles is fueled by cultural and heritage tourism, which offers growth prospects. Quantitative and qualitative studies were combined in a mixed-methods approach. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the survey data, and chi-square tests will be used to evaluate the connection between textile sales and cultural tourism. With the use of a critical evaluation of secondary material, thematic analysis was able to identify important themes from observations and interviews. The sector's opportunities and problems were emphasized in the findings, which also included suggestions for tax breaks, more financing, and improved tourism-textile manufacturing integration through export promotion and strategic marketing. This study intends to help sustainable development and the preservation of Nigeria's textile legacy by utilizing tourism.
