Tourism can be described as a form of nomadism that characterized homosapiens, which is both normal and under the right conditions, pleasurable. Furthermore, it was emphasized that tourism is associated with travelling away from one's home for twenty four (24) hours, using one's leisure time to travel and taking holidays and travelling for business. Being a worldwide phenomenon, it accounts for 10.3% of world gross domestic product, had a turnover of US$6,477.2 billion and supported 234 million jobs (8.7% of total world employment) amidst several challenges. Cultural Festival has been an important element of tourism, it has not been attended to like ecotourism sites, and this has resulted in low facilities and infrastructural attendance in this regions. Likewise, the non-availability of these facilities due to negligence has resulted in low patronage of cultural sites, this paper thus examined the level of satisfaction of tourists and the influx of tourists in relation to the facilities available at various selected cultural festivals in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study are to examine the state of development of these cultural tourism sites and its impact on the general well-being of tourists and also to look into the problems militating against the sustainability of these festivals and ways forward for better tourists' experiences. The Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Demand/Supply theory serve as the basis of its theoretical underpinning. The study relied on both primary and secondary data, and the research work was carried out in three settlements using one festival each as case studies. The instrumentation for the study is the questionnaire thus one hundred and eighty (180) questionnaires were administered on target population. The administration of questionnaires was based on 2013 projected population. Presentation of data was carried out using statistical tables and the multiple-regression statistical method of analysis was used to test for the relationship that existed between available facilities in host settlement of selected festivals/cultural tourism attractions and overall tourists' satisfaction. The independent variables used were available facilities present at the host communities while the dependent variable is the overall satisfaction for tourists. The study revealed that the facilities in the study area were not enough to satisfy the tourists. Also, it was revealed that most of the tourists are local tourists i.e. form within the study area. In the regression analysis, it was revealed that there is a positive relationship between available facilities in cultural festivals and overall tourists' satisfaction thus, an improvement in the available facilities will surely lead to increase in the level of tourists' satisfaction which will in turn increase the rate of patronage of cultural tourism in the study area. The study recommends that government at all level should be involved fully in the provision of facilities in the study area. It also recommends the use of media in advertisement of these sites as it will help in making these sites known not only locally but also internationally.
