Regardless of race or creed, humans love to celebrate. Celebrations have been a part of human life right from the beginning.
Whether it’s a local cultural or religious festival or a global festival or sporting event that cut across race and culture, humans will always celebrate.
Events and celebrations go hand in hand. It brings more people together than any other activity.
Advancements in science and technology have also turned the world into a global village.
So it’s no surprise that some events and celebrations once restricted to people in a particular geographical region have become a global event and are celebrated across borders.
For instance, a couple of decades ago Valentines Day celebrations was a relatively unknown event in Nigeria.
But these days with the internet and media, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in most cities across the country with much fanfare.
As festivals and celebrations all over the world have grown to become big business, events management and events planning which in the past was seen by most as a mere weekend “hobby” or “spare time” business, has now become big business! And the events industry is an established industry across the world.
These developments have brought about new challenges requiring new sets of skills, technology, creativity and experienced leadership in the events industry.

- Boosting tourism at the local, state and national levels
